Right now it looks the reverse. Seeing as how even Clinton is now coming
out against internet censorship, I think that we will be starting to see
more libertarian views entering the US body politic as policy solutions,
though there could just as easily be a coalition of Christian wackos and
feminist PC cops staging a backlash. Hong Kong could wind up being the
bitter pill that China needs to swallow to begin political
liberalization, though this is still highly doubtfull without a good
sized revolution. As eastern europe shows, leaving the tyrants alive to
vote after a peaceful coup is not a good idea.
