And then when the internet happened, the free world governments found that they could actually use the same tools for applications more appropriate to the free world, like security and counter-terrorism. It became very hard to tell China they couldn’t have all that cool tech when we were using it here. And I admit not knowing a good way to solve the problem without telling any and all who will listen to just not build things that help censor, and just don’t sell them to governments with sour policies. Which would of course hammer the bottom line of good guy corporations.

I guess the strategy is to become so economically entwined that China no longer has to spend the resources to censor and watch. And keep our own governments from doing the same.

Yeah. Sure.
