The Great Firewall of China
Unveiling the Great Firewall: a Song's Political Allegory
Lyrics
The one true prophet
The ultimate truth-teller or guide.
AliExpress has reached the west past the
AliExpress has expanded its influence to the western regions, surpassing the
Great Firewall of China
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
Increasing state production, conquering's the manifest behind the
The guiding principle for increasing state production, with conquest as the driving force, is concealed behind the
Great Firewall of China
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
I hear the sirens
Audible warning signals indicating trouble or danger.
And someone's gone again
Someone has disappeared or faced consequences.
I thought I knew them well
A realization that previous knowledge about a situation or person was incorrect.
I guess I'm wrong again
Admission of being mistaken again.
There's a red house over yonder
Reference to a specific location, possibly metaphorical, with an unclear meaning.
My friends and I sometimes wonder
Curiosity about the purpose of surveillance cameras.
What the cameras are for
Speculation about the activities conducted in secret.
And what they do behind the door
Protection against external threats and ideas with the
Keep out the Mongol hordes and western propaganda with the
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
Great Firewall of China
Ensuring prevention of dissent and disloyalty with the
Ensure no thought crime and unpatriotic slander with the
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
Great Firewall of China
Reference to a non-conforming individual, where conforming to the prevailing ideology is the only accepted path.
My friend's a black sheep
Utilizing a virtual private network (VPN) to access content restricted by the Chinese government.
But white's the only way
Preference for adhering to the government-approved way of life.
We use a VPN to watch the NBA
Using technology to bypass restrictions, particularly for entertainment purposes.
And yesterday we saw the statue
Observing a statue with mandatory respect.
They made us bow at his feet
Being compelled to show reverence, raising questions about the significance of the figure.
And I wondered who is he
Curious reflection on the identity of the revered figure.
Looks like Winnie the Pooh to me
Comparison of the figure to Winnie the Pooh, potentially indicating satire or criticism.
I wear my party emblem proudly on my chest, protecting the
Proud display of allegiance to the ruling party, safeguarding the
Great Firewall of China
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
I love my warden and my labour camp's the best behind the
Positive sentiment towards the authorities and the acknowledgment of a labor camp's superiority, situated behind the
Great Firewall of China
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
An empire of thousand years will never be oppressed behind the
Belief in the enduring strength of the empire, shielded by the
Great Firewall
Barrier implemented by the Chinese government.
