Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Ensure even more that no one inside of China will have access to information about human rights. And then the Chinese government can get to use propaganda against their own citizens even more effectively. There’s no way that could backfire. And there are no ethical problems with what you are suggesting either!

Maybe we should play the propaganda game too? Block most services and traffic but selectively allow things through that have propaganda value.

Given the amount of suspicious Chinese devices and traffic, you'd imagine we should be doing something though?

> Maybe we should play

Who is 'we'? Chances are you live in a country founded in democratic principles. This means after each election, priorities change, based on the politicians that are voted into office.

Take the USA as a good example. The priorities of the 2008-2016 administration were undermined by the 2017-2020 administration, and the priorities of the 2017-2020 administration are being undermined by the 2021-now administration.

Both sides think they're right, and were doing what was right for the country. Both sides think the other was an existential threat to the nation, and use similar rhetoric to justify their actions.

Our Pentagon certainly doesn't change tactics every new president but hey you got this nice reality going for you where you think one person is in charge of the whole country, I am over here still waiting for a clear picture of Sasquatch. Sucks to see but it's what happens when our voters only get their news from Elite Western MSM. No sarcasm on the elite part, just look at this fairy tale world we got.

That ship sailed long ago.

Please feel free to suggest alternates.

If the only alternate is status quo, then it's not working very well is it for:

1) Tibetans, Uighurs and other minorities

2) Taiwan, India, and basically any country that shares a border which China, since China has border issues with every country that it shares a border with

3) US, and Western world whose IP is being stolen everyday and is being constantly under attack from China
