Do you think anti-ICE videos are being blocked in China?

Out of curiosity. What do those videos mean to an average Chinese person?

What are the opinions of illegal immigration over there? How do they police it? (If at all).

Does this look like normal government activity? Or are they appalled at the lack of “freedoms” in America?

I am truly naive on their culture or politics around this and how they would use it to show the US as boogeymen government and how their government is better. Is it a grass isn’t always greener type thing for them or is it a way to actually think we’re evil and should be stopped.

Of course not, but other stuff is.

Interestingly, my understanding is government pressure forces Douyin to be more "positive" and "encouraging" than Tiktok (i.e. outrage is an easy way drive engagement with obvious negative externalities, and that path is blocked).

probably not, in fact, the CCP likes to promote content that shows the "US in disarray", while simultaneously censoring and suppressing any content that is critical of the CCP or that exposes its bad actions
