2.3. The Model and Experiments of Information Blocking We assume the government will suppress any transmission of information under XB; thus, XB=0 denotes the special case in the previous discussion. Combining the blocking threshold with other initial conditions above, we have a new parameter space simulation with a total of 5324 different scenarios simulated and a total of 266,200 repeated experiments. Each group lasts for 50 periods, for a total of 13,310,000 experiments.
