In this episode of 22 George Street, we discuss how information censorship in China profoundly shapes cognitive frameworks and worldviews. With only 1-5% of global knowledge available in Chinese and heavily filtered through firewalls and AI surveillance, the result is an insular information ecosystem that limits critical thinking and nuanced understanding. We examine how this censorship impacts discussions on gender equality, human rights, and societal equity, often reducing them to oversimplified narratives or dismissive attitudes. Drawing on Enlightenment philosophy and sociological theories, we highlight how this restricted environment fosters intellectual stagnation and resistance to alternative perspectives. Finally, we encourage listeners to break free from these limitations by learning new languages, developing critical thinking skills, and seeking diverse viewpoints to cultivate a broader, more informed worldview.
