> Can we stop using "China" and be more specific? Unfortunately, it is common usage to refer to the actions of a government as the actions of the country itself. You don't hear people say "The US Government invaded Iraq"; you instead hear "US invaded Iraq". You don't hear "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's government committed airstrikes in Yemen"; you hear "Saudis committed airstrikes in Yemen". To the broader point, about citizenry -versus- government: to some extent, as an American, I do feel a little responsible for my government's actions; and periodically do approach my senators and congresswoman to express my disagreement with the policies they have espoused. Maybe Chinese citizens can also chime in and ask their government (via Weibo or whatever medium is possible) why it's doing this to GitHub? Though probable most people on this planet would have no idea what "GitHub" is, so I'm not sure if anyone outside the tech world cares.
