      Most of the Western internet is blocked in China. It's almost more surprising it hasn't been so far.

      Xi Xinpooh is sensitive to websites which point out the fact that he's an authoritarian dick(tater). There's also, mentioning the Uyghur genocide, and the suppression of human rights and political freedoms in Hong Kong. A few people may also have called the Republic of China (Taiwan) an independent country. Then there's people mentioning that the Nine-Dash line is a ridiculous fantasy. And well, just the fact that lemmy.ml allows people to engage in relatively free speech. Sure, the Tankies abound and there's the obvious Chinese propaganda rolling about; but, posts which point such things out aren't removed. Lastly, Reddit is partly owned by Tencent, gotta protect that investment.
