> China bans all of western social media

Many western social apps work in China. Microsoft Teams, Skype, Facetime, to name a few.

Apps are banned in China for not complying to Internet laws, not for being western.

Whether we agree with those laws is a separate discussion. Bans from anyone should not be discriminatory and should not target the origin.
