It's better propaganda if it's China, Russia, Iran, etc. And tbh, those nations are in an information war against the western propaganda machine. As long as we have an aggressive Capitalist west, I think a firewall is necessary for a proper information defense in any country. It's hard to defend against propaganda without some control, and it's rather naive to think that any nation won't/shouldn't defend itself from western information attacks. I haven't read the article as I assume it's pure anti-west made up propaganda as usual.
