It is. Twitter is as well.
Yet it’s still flooded with people posting in simplified Chinese about how freedom of speech is stupid and foreigners need to shut up and leave matters alone, completely unaware of any irony.
- goatinaboat 7y agoTwitter is as well. We can imagine the following dialogue: Chinese patriot: I’m really angry about what the NBA said on Twitter about China! Chinese secret police: We admire your patriotism Comrade... but how are you using Twitter?

- gnode 7y agoMaybe this is because the Great Firewall doesn't apply in China's special administrative regions (Hong Kong; Macau), yet there are many Chinese speakers there. I'd expect this is the main audience for Chinese-language Wikipedia articles, and the PRC would want to control the narrative seen by them.

- philliphaydon 7y agoYes. And they also speak Cantonese.
