LONDON -- So Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are now working to help support the dictatorship of the people in China -- as managed on their behalf by the Chinese Communist Party. So are most of the world's multinational companies -- as well as you (and me).
We all support the dictatorship of the CCP by trading with China, by investing in China, by taking holidays in China and by buying Chinese goods and services.
By helping the Chinese economy grow we are all helping the CCP stay in power by helping support a growing standard of living in China for the middle class and a sufficiently large part of the urban working class to ensure that thoughts of revolution are kept at bay.
