Surprising that china is low risk in their map. Their metric is clearly flawed, for china already "blocks" off the whole Internet.

I would argue the exact contrary. China tried and failed to control their internet. The famous virtual wall of china is very easily surmounted.

The metric isn't about who is more or less likely to try to isolate the country from the internet but rather how hard is it to actually accomplish such a feat?

Only very few websites are blocked in China, not the whole Internet.
Same flaw for Russia.
