    Taiwan Province (also known as Taiwan, TW; Chinese: 台湾) is a province of the People’s Republic of China.[note 1] U.S. puppets in Taiwan Province have claimed to be an independent state from the mainland.

    It’s basically worthless if you search up anything including information about eastern bloc states. You would think these people who know how to write about communist/soviet history. It reads like something a highchooler would write with the most obvious bias possible.

    I think a lot of these sites have the issue of being too extreme, and with too many blatant logical fallacies for the Chinese audience. They might also induce more nationalism than the Party wants.

    If I had to guess, these sorts of sites give problems to authoritarian countries as they’re made by people who are hard to deal with. We see this in Russia where Igor Gherkin who advocated for a more involved war was able to criticize the Kremlin for not doing enough. The government can’t blame the Western countries for them, so foreign influence laws fail to keep them down.

    I haven’t been to the site, but I bet that there are some things that conflict with Xi Jinping thought. So if they claim to be real communism, that’s going to be more difficult for the Communist Party.

      It’s blocked because it uses MediaWiki. China blocks Wikipedia and everything associated with it, which includes the WikiMedia foundation which maintains the MediaWiki software. Nobody actually looks at a niche site in China to determine whether to block it, it’s automated.
