Yes, I honestly think Washington doesn't exercise similar influence over Google or other American companies.

CNN likes to pop up a PIP view of what's being broadcast in China when they talk about things that embarrass the Chinese government. When they start talking about Peng Shuai it takes about two seconds before the Chinese broadcast becomes a test pattern.

When's the last time you saw a test pattern when watching a foreign news channel?

If you want to uncritically believe everything US establishment media says about enemies of the US establishment, that is your problem.

Where did I say that? Keep in mind that I'm not saying the US government has no influence, but it isn't anywhere close to what the situation in China is.

I think he's changing the subject to what he wants to discuss, what he thought this conversation was about the whole time.

Happens a lot in online discussions.
