Walls are so passé. Panopticons have been the modern way to keep people in check since sometime back in the 18th/19th Century in Europe. After all, when you have nothing to hide, you are nothing to fear...

You're suggesting that there are straightforward comparisons to be drawn between the Communist Party of China and the United States Government?

That sounds like something that's especially fun to argue on an Internet message board and not all that illuminating anywhere else.

Just a moment ago you argued that China is a nation of laws and Cisco didn't break them, so they are not criminals. Now you question the ability to make "straightforward comparisons." Which is it? Or are we getting at the essence of American exceptionalism here?

I did not claim that China is a nation of laws. But even if I had, I still wouldn't understand this objection. Could you try to make it clearer?
