    China has banned practically all US social media sites, not just Meta-owned properties. A bunch of other sites are blocked too.

    China generally wants major internet services to have servers in China itself, similar to how the EU wants citizens’ data to remain in the EU. In order to operate servers located in China, you need to get a license from the Chinese government (ICP license). Large sites that don’t do this tend to get banned by the Great Firewall.
