By Jeffrey Delkin I sit here in Taiwan and watch with fascination the posturing and flexing by both China and Taiwan. With my albeit limited knowledge on China's history and obvious cultural differences, I can even understand the daily flexing. Essentially it is struggle about Personal Freedom and the uneasiness that freedom sometimes carries with it. Yet, our very own US of A has now signed into law an Act that blasts our right of free expression. The internet, the very essence of freedom of expression, of democracy and of choice, the ultimate channel for expression is being challenged.
China has it's own reasons for welding control of the internet.
This should not be taken lightly. This has global implications. We lead by example. Others are watching. Stimulate the educational sector.
