Just consider the opportunity - this is a people moving system, not a stuff moving system. By increasing the exposure of Chinese people to information about their government, outside the reach of the CCP, Americans have the opportunity to educate. Violent revolution may be impossible without horrendous human cost, but the erosion of ccp power could lead to a gradual revolution and peaceful transition to something more liberal and democratic, or at least less imperial and aggressive.

We considered the opportunity back when Nixon opened relations with China. Now's the time to consider that the increasing exposure to China plan has blown up in our faces.
