Re: Like all totalitarian regemes
Well, it is. (To them!)
Historically it's been possible to get away with lying very easily. Just look at Russia; there is a massive difference in opinions between the younger types who have smartphones (& VPN's to dodge the great firewall of Russia) and the older generations in Russia who get all of their news from broadcast media controlled by the state.
It's getting progressively harder for a small minority to control information going to the majority of the population. Starlink holds the threat of bypassing the great firewall of China and making it completely pointless, which I suspect the CCP would see as something more than a trivial potential threat.
