That is indeed a very simple matrix.
Outcome A': Google avoids China altogether, keeping the pressure on Chinese authorities, which may, on the long term, contribute to relax Chinese censorship laws and bolster freedom in that country. Chinese Citizen: 100.
- Karunamon 15y agoI think you greatly overestimate the amount of "pressure" a single company can exert on China, of all places.
- vibragiel 15y agoI can't hardly overestimate something I didn't make an estimation of.
- Karunamon 15y agoOh FFS. >Outcome A': Google avoids China altogether, keeping the pressure on Chinese authorities, which may, on the long term You did type this, yes?
- vibragiel 15y agoYes. Where is the amount, extent, position, size, or value of the pressure exerted on China, that I estimated too highly?
- Karunamon 15y agoThe fact that there is any pressure whatsoever. Of all the countries in the world, China is the most able (from an economic and political standpoint) to tell a western company to take their service and shove it.
- vibragiel 15y agoThat's a very shallow view of how the non-autarkic part of the world (to which China certainly belongs) works, China's recent history and the influence of the "cocacolonization" effect. Stating it exerts no pressure whatsoever is an extraordinary claim.
