RConversation: "I agree with Scoble: no outsiders, including Microsoft, can force China to change. But nobody's asking Microsoft to force China to do anything. The issue is whether Microsoft should be collaborating with the Chinese regime as it builds an increasingly sophisticated system of Internet censorship and control. Declining to collaborate with this system is not 'forcing the Chinese into a position they don't believe in.' Declining to collaborate would be the only way to show that your stated belief in free speech is more than **: empty words. If you believe that Chinese people deserve the same respect as Americans, then please put your money where your mouth is."
