"instead of promoting freedom of speech and democracy, some U.S. companies have been charged with aiding--or at least complying with--Chinese Internet censorship."

Gotta love these armchair champions of free speech.

Which accomplishment is more effective toward developing freedom: setting up a business in China that will immeditaely become an active agent for liberation (anything that develops the Internet in China, even if it must be on a restricted basis initially, is a Great Thing), or posing at a microphone in the City Of Talking Heads and droning about freedom?

As the censored Internet develops in China, people there will find ways to take advantage of it to work toward freedom. (Using proxy servers and such.) There'll be no way to keep them down. Google and Cisco and the rest all know this, but of course they can't say it publicly.

Carry on.
