Hillary Clinton To Force Western Lifestyle On World
Recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced her displeasure with some nations in the world, namely China, for their inability to crack down on cyber intrusions and their growing curbs of Internet freedom.
Although they’re are two separate issues here, she decided to join them, for what ever reason. “We stand for a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas,” said Clinton ignoring the fact that all nations have their own cultures and values to protect.
Such a ignorant and un-prepared statement should most certainly not come from such a high level U.S. dignitary.
Sadly, she went on, almost as if on script. Her haphazard comments ignoring those who would seek to protect their cultures from the on-slot of pornography and predatory Internet practices all suggested a reminiscent behavior of those who instituted the Iron Curtain: she even made reference to the Berlin wall.
For Secretary Clinton to suggest to the American people that something is wrong with China for not fully opening its population to the ills of the West only shows how irresponsible her ideas are.
Instead, she should embrace how China protects it’s people from both physical and societal dangers, steming from the internet, that have been so often observed as harmful to a healthy society. Some Americans may find this an unusual stance especially with China’s history of violence, overt spying and so many other infractions. Yet the truth is, China does get some things right.
Secretary Clinton, as well as her lack luster leader President Obama certainly must get it through their narrow Liberal elitist minds that many people do not want pornography so easily accessible in their cultures nor other significant cultural taboos.
It would be in Google’s best interest to understand this as well. Sadly, I though this was all part of “How to function in another country 101″.
Regarding the ciber attacks on Google which are a separate issue, China does have a duty to assist with active counter measures. Sadly from their history they may be the ones directly involved.
The relationship with China and Google has always been shaky at best. Google is seen by many nations, as much too powerful and by communist leaders possibly an extended hand of western power. Therefore, if Google wants to function in China they need to respect both their current culture and their laws regardless of restrictions.
