Censorship is not a blanket thing, it's specifically targetting misinformation, pro-capitalist speech, and that which undermines socialism. The working classes use it to silence capitalists.
You're saying that, why should I believe that's actually the case?
Censorship is always done with some sort of "positive" narrative tied to it.
Because it's the reason censorship is used. People don't censor for fun, but to protect the system. China is socialist and run by the working classes, it would not have the support it does if it was brutally oppressing them.
