Sidenote: Why does the west allow China to run a social media app like Tiktok globally whilst China itself blocks all external apps within its own borders? Arguing that if we block them we are just as bad as them is niave to me. Like giving away all concessions in a trade negotiation to gain the high moral ground. Seems like such an obvious question to me.
Because some people see multiculturalism and melting pot environments as a good thing that improves society by moving our own culture forward. From this position mirroring the behavior would make no sense because the solution is misguided and self-harming.
