Creative Destruction in the GOP

I find this heartening. I am opposed to the Great Firewall on general principles.

I believe that the free flow of information is a good thing, on the whole.

Is the free access of information no threat to the governmnt of China?

So are they less fragile in this way than was the USSR?

===================================================
It seems pretty clear that the Chinese are a lot more tolerant of their government than the Soviet nationalities ever were of theirs. China has a vastly different history and different attitudes of the people towards their governments.

Probably free access to information would make the Chinese government's job harder, possibly a lot harder.
