[governance] China Governance

[Eric Dierker]

In watching all the news reports of Google and Censoring and freedom of Information,,,,  I find myself asking the fundamental question of "for China -- are we sure that a more open Internet is really the right thing to do".
 
It seems fundamentally that the answer is always yes!!!  But just take the earth and our environment for one small example.  Are we really ready to have mass consumerism sprout wings for 1 billion more people. Of course the same questions are begged for, Pornography, Competitive Politics, and Religion.
 
For me the balance always comes down on the side of open and free, but at what cost and at what speed?  And obviously who is the western Internet to decide for the east?
