Seriously, even if someone doesn't like South Park (I'm more of a Rick and Morty type) you/we all have to watch South Park - Band in China. A very simple way to describe how China is playing this game (and we let them win).
- mpiedrav 7y ago> (and we let them win) That's indeed the key point. While the Chinese government can censor whatever it pleases and enforce any policies on its citizens, it's up to US corporations to decide whether they want to keep in line with them. For what it's worth, corporations will be gradually replacing public institutions and governments in a few decades from now (at most in a century). Not by coups, but by making them largely irrelevant in everyday life. Democracy will then be as archaic as monarchies.
