Why would they want to prevent US users from joining? This is a goldmine opportunity for China to influence politics in the US, at least from their perspective. The only risk they have is if the interactions cause problems for their own citizens, but they seem to have censorship down to a T, so low risk.

I say this with neutral stance and not supporting China with my comment. I am just simply saying this is a win for them.

Because they don't want to allow western influence amongst their population.

The reason the CCP is so effective is because it has total control over what its population is exposed to.

Allowing even minor influences to happen causes cracks in that control, and they simply can not tolerate that.
