I commented on this asymmetry before, Chinese propaganda operating freely in the west on western platforms, while western propaganda being filtered in Chinese platforms is a real foreign policy conundrum since both parties are following relevant local regulations. Hard to see how west can match without adopting similar (anti)values. Didn't take long, this only validates Chinese filtering model and plays in China's favour. I'm sure there's going to be much rationalization and wank over differences between private and government control. But IMO it's perfunctory and doesn't change the underlying effect of political censorship, in the end that's the only validation China needs.

I think access to media markets should be treated similarly to trade restrictions. I don't think the Chinese government or Chinese companies should have access to the US media market without appropriate reciprocity.
