People scream and demand grubbermint protection, they get it and then they get upset. It's all normal. China isn't to be trusted with electronics. Sad that the genz whatever who can barely understand computers can't have a basic grasp that a foreign government doesn't have their best interests at heart.
Gen Z simply recognises that they've been priced out of their local digital monopolies, while their own government colludes with big tech to protect the extraction of digital rents from anyone trying to use their platforms as a market. Whether or not China has their best interests at heart, they are providing the only popular digital platform that can still be described as being anything like a free market.
