Jerry thanks for writing this story, a much needed voice of sanity amongst the warmongering drivel we are seeing everywhere in Western media.
Personally I think the world would really benefiit by plugging into and integrating the Chinese internet with the Western internet, as they are obviously currently isolated, preventing real every day information about China becoming known to us in the West.
I hope China might see that too, that there would be much more to gain than might be lost by such an integration.
To see the effect that division causes to the value of the internet, Metcalfe's law is quite useful (nothing to do with profit)
