> All of this is similar to what China did back in the day.

In what way is it similar, I'm not seeing it? When did China introduce something like GDPR and how did it help foster an ecosystem of their own services?

At first, western services were banned using laws similar to what some countries in the EU have (like how some tweets are unavailable in some European countries for disputing the holocaust, etc). Also: https://www.euronews.com/2022/01/26/germany-considers-bannin...

Now they have pushed something very similar to the GDPR. More info about these two things here:

So it is not similar at all? I see no relationship one can draw between GDPR and Chines censorship of the internet and how it came to be.
