I'm all with you on this anti China bashing rant, it's too easy and sometime even get the smells of the yellow peril. But there is another x in the equation: seeing foreign companies or institutions go firm against governments, including China's, and taking the risk of losing market shares and money, is very instructive for the Chinese youth, it shows them, and everyone in fact, that the world is not all about money.

"the world is not at all about money"...Seriously?!

Do you really think that Google, MSFT, FB etc. went "against" the government in the public because they are "not at all about money"? I like the wishful thinking, but unfortunately, if I were running one of those companies I would do the same thing so that I get to keep my customer and user base, because their confidence in my company and product is the driving force of my continued revenue. How much money is / can the government going to give me anyway? They are not MSFT or GOOG or FB's customer!

It is up to you to be so pessimistic, but why would you try to convince others? I see everyday some proofs that the world is not all about money: I just need to hang out with friends to be convinced.
