That is a very strange sentiment. I would prefer them being overtaken by a better (US/India or any moderately free country) company. I would prefer they not be crushed by an oppressive regime.
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoI disagree. Power consolidation into a handful of multinational corporations has the potential to destabilize the globe more than a single oppressive regime. If dozens or hundreds of countries require these companies to function, that takes power from the country's citizens(if it's a democracy) to the hands of the powerful within those multinational corporations.
- cscurmudgeon 9y ago"potential to destabilize" Potential evil vs actual oppression today?
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoPotential _global_ evil vs actual country-wide oppression. The strength of a corporation capable of population-wide cultural and psychological manipulation shouldn't be taken lightly.
- cscurmudgeon 9y agoYou think China is not on its path to global evil? E.g. Silk Road, Taiwan, 9-Dash line, String of Pearls strategy etc.
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoNo. What in my comment made you think I think that?
