Internet censorship was one of the two things that made me decide that living in China long-term was out for me. That said, I'm not sure if I agree with the article. A broken internet is infuriating, but I'm not convinced that this kind of censorship will wreak the environment for foreign investment. Beijing is probably the top tech start-up investment hub in Asia. Great firewall or not, investors go where the market is.

Problem is, this will do for forward-thinking Russian entrepreneurs what it did for you in China - and will give them another reason to work on Plan B (not involving Russia). And that will affect foreign investments.
