China is reportedly considering turning the Great Firewall into a two-way barrier by blocking overseas traffic to Chinese websites. If fully implemented, this could effectively transform the internet in China into a giant intranet, where the only way to access critical data from government agencies, universities, and companies may be to physically go to China.
This further reinforces a point I have been making for some time: the urgent need for China experts in the West to strengthen their ability to read between the lines of official propaganda and uncover the realities hidden behind the official narrative.
