The power of network effect is a biggie: <If they don't like the way it is, they're perfectly welcome to develop their own network and control it themselves > The USA with free speech laws and to some extent capitalist ideology regarding private property and self-determination [though that's hardly honoured these days] is far more likely to maintain the network effect of Cyberspace than China is to set up a competing system, even though they have chinese as a lingua franca to base it on. The British Empire brought us a lingua franca with more users by far than any other language and it's a better designed language too, though it could do with some rationalisation, which the USA has done to some extent, but at the cost of some linguistic precision. Color vs colour, humor vs humour, meter vs metre and meter and some funny linquistic changes such as viola instead of voila, tow the line instead of toe the line, could care less instead of couldn't care less, and many others.
