Why is it besides the point? Why are we gonna take down the firewall to have chinese people be exposed to western media and the likes???That's besides the point, you don'stop doing what's right or correcting thinking just because you think most people won't follow what you say, pure speculation on your party and a defeatist attitude.
If the positives doesn't outweight the negatives, tell me why again?
Yes, so instead of taking down the firewall, China and chinese corporations can help countries in establishing and getting hold of their own internets.Each individual country is responsible for its internet control, China is a clear example of that control and something any government could enforce if necessary to them.
