Why does Eastern government always want to have everything under their control??

This is not about whether the government is of the east or the west. Partly, this is about governments in general. Governments want control. However, there are countries which are more tolerant than others, more open-minded than others, more receptive to rising technologies, and so forth.

And it is not whether it is from the east or the west. There are many countries in the east which are not as inimical to Bitcoin as China, in the same manner that there are also countries in the west which tend to be very tight in terms of crypto regulations.

But China is more or less the extreme case. They want absolute control. They'll probably regulate farting in the coming days.

Don't over amplify any action from China. They are dictator regime so they do any full censorship they can. It is bad to recall a sad story for all of us but there are people can leak the videos of deadly situation in incinerators in China in the first few months of pandemic.

That means if people want, they can access available Internet resources with other tools. If they want, they can learn and do it successfully.

China is similar to Russia. Do you notice Putin signed a new law to keep up his power. Putin signs law banning 'extremists' from running in elections, on Navalny's birthday. China and Russia break basics of human rights.

Although China has been cracking down on the development of cryptocurrencies, according to Cointelegraph, since the authorities began to crack down on such behavior in September 2017, domestic cryptocurrency buyers have been seeking various forms of cryptocurrency transactions.
They took the form of using Hong Kong as a base for such exchange platforms, while traders turned to exchanges for P2P transactions, and the government is now also seeking ways to shut down such platforms.

This is very normal for China, non-bitcoin or bitcoin-related.
Most of the platforms that they are blocked are really good or helpful for other countries, their government is extremely strict.

Additionally, the more they censor, the people become more curious, it's like Bitcoin. People always making their ways.

There are a lot of websites that is blocked or censored in China, so I'm not surprised that they are going to censor crypto exchanges as well. They have been curtailing their people's freedom, as we all know that Internet = freedom of speech.

And since we have heard that China has started it's war on bitcoin, specifically mining, they definitely have to start somewhere else, so the country first target is censorship.

Chinese users are currently unable to search for popular crypto exchanges on the country’s internet services amid reports of possible censorship.

Keywords searches for online trading platforms including Binance, OKEx and Huobi on popular internet services such as Baidu, Sogo, Zhihu, or Weibo are yielding no results. Other media outlets including CoinDesk first reported the possible blockage.

The Chinese government has recently renewed a regulatory crackdown on crypto mining and trading, helping send Bitcoin down about 45% since its peak in April.

The exchanges that appear to be impacted are some of the largest in the digital-asset world, with Asia-based users being among the earliest adopters. Binance is the world’s biggest crypto platform, with $30 billion in trading volume in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.com, a site owned by Binance.

Why does Eastern government always want to have everything under their control?? The sooner they come to terms with bitcoin being an assets that was never meant to be under the control of one entity the better for everyone.
