The largest domestic market in the world is in China. No question of importing technologies spied on by the United States. Who will lose the battle!
In his very last interview given as part of the New York Film Festival on Saturday October 11, Edward Snowden was very clear: drop Dropbox, prefer SpiderOak, leave Facebook et Google, Duckduckgo is safer.
In the game of globalization, whoever has the biggest domestic market wins. Under Clinton, the USA promoted globalization, but today two markets are more important than the USA : the European Union and China. Europe? As Kissinger said: "If I want to call Europe, what number should I dial?" There remains China, which protects its internal market and undervalues its currency. Apple's response: a "China" division...
In 2001, Beijing joined the WTO. The same year the United States adopted the Patriot Act: the NSA can search American data centers anywhere in the world, in violation of international law. The Stasi had the motto "we must know everything", like the NSA today, which became what it wanted to fight: the Nstasi! She should have remembered what Martin Luther King said: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can."
Beijing chooses Linux!
The companies searched are prohibited from mentioning it. But, concretely, the Agency can penetrate any machine under OSX, iOS, Windows, Android, etc. No need to break in: there are backdoors that allow direct access. Not even to mention the nano-espionage on hardware. In December 2013, Der Spiegel thus reveals the existence of a catalog of NSA spyware, the "ANT catalog", and that an NSA unit, called TAO, can physically intercept computer delivery packages to implant nano-material or to manufacture tailor-made software flaws in it.
Hence Beijing's strong interest in Linux, the most independent OS vis-à-vis the NSA today. The Gendarmerie and the French police have by the way adopted Ubuntu (the most democratic version of Linux), improved by the Gendarmerie under the name of GendBuntu in 2001. Fascinatingly, the Wikipedia page of GendBuntu still only exists in French, English and Chinese! And for good reason: GendBuntu has been the subject of a complete case study by Beijing. Add the role Facebook and Twitter can play in an uprising and you'll understand the Politburo's psychosis. As a result, American companies are losing the largest market in the world, and globalization with it.
Ethics, according to Google
This is the story of Google in China. When Mountain View returns from Beijing, the Harvard Business School salutes the ethics of the firm which valiantly refused to dance with the devil... But what really happened? Beijing has made a deal: do you want to settle in China? So you guarantee us the absolute inviolability of Chinese data. Google nods. Back home, where the NSA has reservations: No way! Google returns to Beijing: Cao ni ma! (I let the sinisters translate). Today, the search engine market has been given by China to Baidu, a company that could have been American had it not been for the anti-immigration laws passed under Bush Jr. As for Google's great lesson in ethics... Eric Schmidt left to prospect in North Korea less than a year later!
Basically, China has only one policy: total sovereignty. It offers the market from Facebook to RenRen, from Twitter to Weibo, from Google to Baidu... Similarly, Russia has Vkontakte and Yandex. As for IBM's market shares in China, they have melted since the Snowden affair.
Charles Pasqua once said "democracy ends where reason of state begins". And if it was rather up to the States to serve the people and not the other way around. Today, the NStasi sinks American export companies, with taxpayers' money. It's stupid and in total violation of human rights [1] the NStasi records our neuroses, our fantasies, our weaknesses, it can publish our most compromising sexts, the Snowden leaks are clear on this subject. The Agency must return to the right side of the Force. Dwight Eisenhower understood this well: "The problem with defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without."
