Morning Ed: China
When I recorded this, the incident was a couple of days old but obviously that’s a bit outdated now. I’ll have to be careful about such phrasing in the future.

The problem is, the more the world appeases China, the longer the party can hold on to power.Report
So long as it’s the tech companies doing it on China’s behalf, it’s not *REAL* censorship.Report
Shame we didn’t box China in with some sort of economic partnership of pacific nations in the Obama years. At least we didn’t do something really stupid like sit by while China and the pacific nations formed a trading group with us on the outside. Boy that would have been strategically dumb.
