'Westerners' or twitter users and journalists who care very deeply about Tianamen Square? Because there's a difference there. I think westerners, in general, are aware of the fact that they live in a police/surveillance state of their own and are not happy about it. The censorship is different in kind, and it covers different topics. However, why would that add up to greater concern for 'devil they don't know' when the devil they do know is inside their house and pointing a gun to their heads?
We all saw liberals and reactionaries showing their ass online. Talking as if they understood LGBTQ+ issues in China and how RedNote was supposedly anti gay people. Meanwhile the westerner community got their RedNote feeds full of sapphic and gay relationships. At the end of the day China was not this perfectly evil inhuman society that twitter users and journalists are conditioned to worry about. It's a group of humans, with all the contradictions that humanity affords them.
