      I'd like to extend a warm welcome to everyone just discovering that American corporations have no innate interest in freedom or democracy, and will bend to state-backed power in a moment if they think it will cost them market access.

      I think this edgy analysis escaped from 1971. American corporations today are often led by highly ideological people with idiosyncratic beliefs, and a bunch of them will not hesitate to do things that cost them financially. Chick-fil-A doesn't close on Sundays to win market share

      If you can get a stirring defense of Chinese democracy into Golf Digest, the problem solves itself. The American CEO class is quite persuadable.

      I think you're mistaking a moderately narrow subset of tech for CEOs as a whole when it comes to whimsy, but it's absolutely true that conventional wisdom *about what is profitable or risky* drives corporations, rather than actual analysis.

      That's what makes political action possible; if corporate boards come to believe that bending to Chinese censorship is dangerous they will stop doing it.

      Consider the Theranos board! They weren't driven by individual fancies, but by a collective delusion - widely shared - that magic was produced *by the kind of person who behaved and looked like Elizabeth Holmes'

      I was actually thinking about highly religious, deeply Republican American CEOs during the "who lost China?" period. My broader point is that shareholder pressure is gone with everything belonging to index funds, and it's really a time for idiosyncratic plutocrats to shine again

          The actual thing you have to convince them of is that they will never have *power* in China - a lesson that both Zuckerberg and Murdoch failed miserably to learn. By and large, at the individual level that's the thing they want - money is a way to it.

          Then M Bloomberg picked up the banner. Why hasn’t China given Bloomberg a TV license, after the interview?
