The front page of The New York Times reports that "China and United States once acted like opposites when it came to governing the Internet. Beijing imposed a heavy state hand. It blocked major foreign websites, sheltered Chinese tech firms as they developed alternatives to Western rivals and kept a tight grip on what people said online. The United States stood for a global openness that helped a generation of Internet goliaths dominate worldwide. But when president trump issued executive orders that could lead to a us ban next month on 2 of the world's most popular Chinese-made apps, the White House signaled a new willingness to adopt Beijing's exclusionary tactics." To put it mildly, China is not a model to imitate, this is shameful behavior.
