When the writer states, "This can't continue." I can only say, "who will stop them and how will it be done?" Two of my favorite nations, the USA and UK, seem to be heading in China's direction. US citizens in particular do not seem well informed on international events, nor much concerned about either government surveillance or its opacity on certain matters. China's history, of which I do not claim to have extensive knowledge, also seems to support a tendency towards isolation, or maybe selective ignorance - well-versed in subjects that go boom or cha-ching, not so well on the subversive stuff. That said, to rely too much on history leaves one vulnerable to the daring and imaginative. After all, Corsicans were never considered "truly" French, yet one of them became Emperor of France aand almost of Europe.
