And people wonder why EU citizens data should never leave EU to USA without any legal guarantees from USA.

  The great Chinese firewall is far more effective than the GDPR. They outright ban US corporations such as Google or Facebook from operating in their country or retain control over the data and networks of companies such as Apple.

    By all means, let's laud the Chinese firewall with its twin guiding principles of authoritarian censorship and IP theft.

      I am not sure how IP theft has any relevance to how they setup their networks. Yes in the western media we hear much about the censorship and surveillance in China. We do not hear as much about their need for data sovereignty and defense against US controlled networks which I think is their higher motivation. In the autocratic state, you do what you are told. In the free west we do what we want, but coincidentally what we want aligns with what the powerful want us to do. We may have more options to opt out in the west once we learn how we have been tricked into things.

        The IP theft comes in if your org decides to play ball, which requires having a Chinese 'partner' organization to get access to the market.
