> No. The article is about the rules of the internet. The bit about china is just propaganda to distract from the EU vote tomorrow.

The article is almost totally about China and the rules of the internet. The only way you can say "the bit about China is just propaganda" is to say that the whole article is just propaganda. I suspect that you actually believe that, but I think you're wrong.

China wants to totally change the rules of the internet. The EU is also wanting to change the rules, in a less total but more immediate way. We can and should talk about both those things, rather than saying that China is "just propaganda to distract us".

By all means, talk about the EU. Really. But China is also a danger, and we need to also talk about that danger.
