You can freely read Chinese or russian narratives if you live in the US or EU, the opposite isn't true. Of course there are problems with the narratives created by our governments and media, especially during war time, but hey, you are free to call them out, free to provide facts that counter such narratives, and free to try and create and publish your own narratives. The main difference between us and China/Russia is that we have access to way more information, and thus false narratives are created differently, either through information overload or information bias, but not by simply forbidding the reporting of facts.
