I really doubt this helps the CCP in any way. In english the stuff is still easily available, and chinese know very well how to get around the tricks their government uses. So not sure if this is impacting anything at all.

It really shows that the CCP is scared shitless of their citizens though.

Experienced Chinese users are already following each other so they don't rely on the search function.
