The Great Firewall serves as a protectionist policy to encourage Chinese citizens to use China's own platforms to help build China's technological sovereignty while also filtering out a lot of reactionary crap. The Chinese people use VPNs to access YouTube and such all the time. I recommend watching Ben Norton's video on his experience living in China as he does talk about the Great Firewall and its purpose.
