Will China’s Tight Control Over The Internet Be Its Demise?

China is a country that has developed and grown in a short span. The country has adopted technology and created miracles from it. The AI experts in the country will bring further advancement, but then comes the catch in the perfect scenario.

China has never allowed its citizens to be totally free. They have bound them with invisible chains. In the world where the country itself is heading towards further technological developments, the citizens are not allowed to use the internet freely. It has been the same for years, but now that the world is moving in one direction and the Chinese government is forcing its people to run in the opposite direction.

So this is just an advice to the Chinese government to not let your people go on such height that they start to conspire against you and become the cause of your death.
