I've thought about this as well but I was not too comfortable with it. As I understand it it is a reverse tunnel from your internal network to cloudflare? If your device is compromised it may lead to an attacker using that tunnel to ac

I think the difference is that in China the public are aware of the policies and they know how it will affect them if they say something dangerous. This keeps the power in check in a way since they can mostly only act on policies they have
