They built a big Chinese wall around the Clubhouse. Some had speculated it wouldn't happen until Spring Festival. But I guess Beijing just couldn't wait. A budding wildflower should be given not even a day of sunshine.

The existence of the Clubhouse app is bittersweet; allowing PRC citizens to taste free expression, but likely for only a short while before the #CCP blocks the app, forcing people to wallow back under the tight restrictions of state-regulated social media. https://www.ft.com/...
