and that isolationism is the most sure way to grow financially and not socially

"Social growth" is a sufficiently fuzzy term that I'm sure that people can easily come up with definitions where isolationism is beneficial to social growth.

People from China are not isolated though: they can study and spend time abroad, form social connections before returning to China if they so prefer.

Right, that’s why there’s a very large cultural crackdown on what can be shown, with pop stars being removed and wiped from the internet . With kids having their past times curfewed.

Happy to cite, and this might be a giant rabbit hole, but I would posit there’s massive disagreement (both for and against) your statement.

Sure, some directions of "growing socially" are strictly prohibited in China and perhaps also for those who ever want to go (back) to China. But does some directions mean all directions in practise? I don't know.
