>strip down like 50% from overall content because it is not in line with CCP's ideology?
Of course, play by same rules/guidelines as domestic players. Will also have advantage in offering filtered content from abroad vs domestic players, also will gain a shitload of unique content from PRC net. Many of interesting content producers in PRC if Google leverages AI to transcribe, translate, dub. Plus handover dissident information, but thats table stakes. And eventually get pressured to block antiPRC rags like FLG media globally or be put on sanction/unreliable entity list.
Google and facebook are allowed to participate in the chinese market. If they follow chinese rules. One of them being storing chinese data in china which google and facebook refused to do.
Why are microsoft, apple and other tech companies allowed to do busy in china? Because they follow chinese laws.

As opposed to stripping content to line up with israeli ideology, european ideology or anyone else's ideology?
Other than hypocrisy, do you have a point?
