We continue our look at the attack upon U.S. Tech companies.a
Rep. Christ Smith, evidently in hysterics, says that the four companies are “enabling dictatorship” by helping “manipulate” the Internet. Enabling dictatorship he says. Four companies that didn’t even exist when I was a young man are now enabling a 2,000 year old country’s leaders. Somebody’s up for election it looks like. a
Smith goes on to say, "Cooperation with tyranny should not be embraced for the sake of profits.
"Now the four companies are “cooperating with tyranny. So the government that the U.S is partnering with in attempting to defuse the Korean nuclear issue is according to this representative a tyranny? If that is the case than there a lot more questions that need to be answered than whether someone in China can do a Google search or not.
Democratic Rep. Tom Lantos had this to say "the hugely successful businesses that come before Congress tomorrow will have to account for their complicity in 's culture of repression, and to begin to make amends."

Listen to this demagoguery: “the hugely successful businesses,” in other words putting some extra code in their various products for the Chinese is being implied what has made these companies successful. Again we hear the rants using the term “complicity,” these American companies, according to Lantos, are partaking in a “culture of repression.”

What a bunch of garbage. I’m surprised Wal-Mart wasn’t brought into it along with American consumers being chastised also through their buying of Chinese products which is a great reason for Chinese domestic growth.
