Now granted, at this point, this seems like an unsubstantiated accusation… and I’ve always held that a person is innocent until proven guilty. But nevertheless, the fact remains, China *does* selectively block certain services. So my question is — in this aspect, for example, what must China do in order to move on to the next step as a nation and as a people? The whole Arab Spring thing suggests that, across the globe, the internet has created such an egalitarian future, that today’s crop of 20-something’s will give their lives for freedom, if it’s about to be taken from them. So let’s say you’re the USA ambassador to China… and you read this article, what would you say? (Feel free, please, to write anonymously. Just click “Comment” below.)
