China: Protectionism vs Politics
Like Google's Sergey Brin, I keep wondering how much of the current China crackdown on websites is political ideology, and how much is really just typical protectionism with an ideological comb-over.My take: This issue skews much more towards protectionism than ideologues (here and in China) think. Leave the Chinese market and you will go a long way toward helping the Chinese government achieve its real goals, which are more economical than political.
