Well it’s pretty clear that Japanese artists are perfectly happy using Weibo. Meanwhile, I think people in the west should be more worried about the way western regimes suppress speech and freedoms. Here’s just one example. If that’s what a free and democratic society looks like then Weibo is a pretty good choice if you ask me.
Western states already have established firm control and surveillance as well as anybody who’s been paying any attention knew ever since Snowden revelations. Meanwhile, invoking whataboutism is a logical fallacy used to create a double standard for yourself and others. Claiming that China is authoritarian while the west is democratic while both do exact same things is just hypocrisy.
The reality is that there aren’t any real risk for Japanese creators using weibo, it’s just concern trolling.
You mean the actual borders as recognized by the UN and vast majority of countries in the world including the US?

Nah, it’s not just threatening. France just passed a bill allowing police allowing police to remotely activate phone cameras and microphones for surveillance https://www.engadget.com/french-assembly-passes-bill-allowing-police-to-remotely-activate-phone-cameras-and-microphones-for-surveillance-210539401.html
And, you’re right it’s not the same as what happens in PRC where nobody suggested cutting off social media during four months of protests.

No, I’m not doing any double standard. What western governments do is demonstrably what westerners claim makes China authoritarian.
