Sure they have more practical experience, but China has also studied their techniques in isolation and carried out counterintel strikes.The problem is not your average user but the advanced level of the US propaganda brainwashing system that has risen to this monstrous level thanks to constant social inner stability being dependent on it, and due to the external imperial model being dependent on it too for decades. So the US intelligence agencies have the world-leading advantage in this area.
What you're saying is like that a natural born virus that has reigned free outside will always without exception be more powerful than a lab created virus.
I don't think that's necessarily true, that just because something has been "out in the open" it would beat things that are researched in a contained "lab" imo would just come down to the minds of the people researching the brainwashing methods, and China should have a lead there.
Well, by lowering firewall, we are inviting US to come out and fight on neutral ground. Which would be a mistake, because as Tiktok and Rednote proves (along with all the other c-drama wave etc) is that the global majority is okay with going inside China's home court. There is no need to sally out into "neutral Internet" when we can just have the world come to China and leave US isolated inside the US firewall.They can run those comprehensive psychological manipulation tactics with bots, and they don't even need real users. If the Chinese internet ecosystem and officials can't account for that, then they shouldn't lift the firewall. This is very dangerous stuff. We don't need this kind of risk and potential disturbance just right as China is about to deliver the finishing stab in the monster's neck too, and is about to win the future of this world and finally collapse this malicious empire for better eternity.
