Then you are essentially demanding either that Google:
1) actively support anti-democratic, anti-human rights activities to the extent that they're willing to pay, or
2) that the USGovt simply ban them from doing biz in those countries, or
3) that the USGovt ban doing biz of a certain type, with likely arguments around the edges of that type.
4) or something else that I'm missing.
Which are you proposing?
- mulmen 8y agoI am proposing 2 (assuming it applies to all business) if we as a country actually have a problem with the Chinese government's treatment of their citizens. As far as I can tell we don't have a problem with it so we continue doing business with them.
- toss1 8y agoI'd agree with #2 just fine. I think the large portion having no problem continuing to do business with China on such a large scale is a folly of historic proportions. Since that folly is unlikely to be abated, it'd be good if we at least cut off companies actively helping to undermine human rights and democratic institutions.
