I too fear the China-style internet as a response. However there are alternative responses which may be beneficial if we take a constructive approach. I see no better time than now for many countries to get behind the ideas of Eben Moglen and actively fund open source work in the basic hardware and software than all countries need. Some 21 countries are getting together to challenge the US at the UN. I would love it if these same 21 countries put money where their mouth is and actively funded the thousands of excellent independent open source developers who would love to actively create fully free and open-source basic software and hardware full time. These individuals are not hard to identify and support. Give them the money to quit their day jobs and build FOSS full time.
