I don't need to know the details to realize that this is a bad idea, considering the countries supporting this.

Contrary to popular belief (especially among people from the west), not everything from Russia and China is terrible, oppressive and meant to destroy everything freedom-ish.
But, yeah, it's still a terrible idea.

Lots of good people and good things in China but that doesn't change a thing about how the internet works there.

Tactics like this are used to sanction and limit the West, whilst the proposing parties will go around and violate the rule without regard to reprimand. They'll be quick to point it out when someone else violates it, though.

But much of it is, and looking at their past actions regarding their censorship of the Internet, I think it's safe to assume that nothing good will be in this proposal. Sounds to me like you just wish to be a contrarian for no good reason.

Did you not read the whole comment? It's not that long. The second line states "But, yeah, it's still a terrible idea." You may have missed that I wrote that comment because mtgx's comment implied that only bad ideas can come from these countries, which seemed excessively anti-Chinese and anti-Russian to me.
