The wording of the article is strange, implying that China is to be emulated. Of course a one-party state will more effective than the U.S. in reining in algorithms used in the private sector. The state will use even more invasive algorithms to control people to maintain its power, for example with a "social credit" system. The article begins as follows: "TAIPEI—A sweeping new plan to restrain the algorithms that power tech platforms has thrust China to the forefront of a growing movement to curb the influence of giant internet companies. Launched last week by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the campaign aims to establish a comprehensive system to regulate the use of algorithms within three years, part of the ruling Communist Party’s effort to rein in what it sees as unscrupulous business practices and exert more control over online discourse. Regulators called for algorithms to be fair and transparent, while adhering to China’s Communist Party ideology. The campaign puts China a step ahead in policing tech platforms, as governments around the world grapple with how to respond to automated technologies that are rewiring business, social interactions and politics."
