That is correct. However this does not change anything in the discussion - on the contrary.

Different societies have different pattern, and different practices. Things which may seem inexplicable to us happen because, at least at some point, they promoted the survival of the society that practices them.

That is correct. We have differenct traditions from china - and that is one (but not the only) reason why I DONT want chinese internet politics.
Nothing against chinese or china in principal - I just dont know enough about chines politic or tradition and I dont like to judge people by the politics of their nation. I know something about their handling of the internet - and I dont like it.

The key point is that the survival of the society is paramount. The individual may not matter.

You see - that is one point where we differ. The society is ultimately made of individuals.
If the individual is too important, a society cannot prosper. But - if the individual is too unimportant, the society will - ultimately - die.

Following that logic nobody would be buying any cr-protected stuff anymore. People still do.
