South Korea also has that.

Abolished long ago.

The purpose of the firewall ？Originally，it was intended to block foreign influence，but now the system has been abused and manipulated by pretty much every influential special interest groups. Big corporations can slience voice criticizing their product or business activities from platform，celebrities and people with "connections" can do it，corrupt local bureaucrats can slience voice expose their misconduct，and so on so forth.

And the Western platforms would be any better. Google, FB, and Twitter were even more abusive in silencing other voices. Banning anyone speaks up for Chinese. Google even tagged rioter song as national anthem and refused to take it down.

You reasoning and logic is so flaw and laughable. If it is many years ago before the US going full retarded and attacked anything China, then you might have an argument. After the West has abused its power and finance power by sanctioning and misused its social media for color revolution and banned technology because it can't compete. You have no point to stand.

These special interest groups benefit greatly from the firewall. If Chinese people is able to access outside platforms that are not in their control，they will be doomed

It would be China that would be doomed. Look at all those color revolution. FB, Twitter, and Google all played a part. How Hong Kong color revolution got evolved from merely a protest to a full blown color revolution. It is by rumors through FB, Twitter, Youtube and using Telegram to organize mass riots.

People are just so naive. Remember how they banned Russian voice and anything positives about Russia just recently. Soft power is useless as piece of toilet paper if you have no control of it. Remember how opinions of China and Russia go from positives to negatives within a year. What kind of soft power if your enemy can merely turn public opinion against you so easily. TikTok would soon be banned. So go your theory of open internet that would bring a better China and Chinese voice. I thought people here would learn and should know about this but guess not.

Is that a problem for firewall supporters？I thought you'd love see Chinese people get banned，so they will go back and re-embrace Chinese platform

If a system is so susceptible to outside influence it must a fragile system，thus a flawed system. I have confidence in Chinese society resiliency，where is yours？

Or better question：why cannot you do the same "turn public opinion" thing against the US？Is it American system inherently more resilient to outside influence than Chinese system？

because the US is active in censorship globally, not just within its own borders.

Taiwan doesn't control the platform. Taiwan doesn't control the hardware.
Taiwan doesn't even control their own semiconductor industry.

Please provide some source to prove this "semiconductor = media control" theory

All social media platforms are susceptible to outside influence - for example, Instagram censors pro-Palestinian accounts on behalf of its Israeli stakeholders. As such, most states and transnational organizations have regulations in place to maintain information sovereignty; whether that be data privacy laws or geographic restrictions.

Why should China surrender control of its infospace to foreigners, like how the Qing surrendered treaty ports?
