> things that incite hate, forms of bigotry, and ideas that create dangerous divisions

Is that a euphemism for “anything the Communist party dislikes”?

A clear and present danger. Youth are being exposed and educated to a much higher level today. They know full well the uselessness of such dogma and warped thinking.

You're right in the sense that anything censored in china is tautologically the things the communist party doesn't like.

But the language you're keying into is just the astroturfer borrowing the language that Silicon Valley progressives use to push for their own flavor of "it's OK when we do it" internet censorship.
