China, the Internet, and Irony

[KBCraig]

One of my favorite quotes is from Jack Nicholson: "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch."

Here's one that's similar, on the irony scale:

Reporters without Borders, a press freedom group, said sales by major U.S. companies to China had bolstered Beijing's capabilities of limiting Internet access in the country.

"You sold technology to Chinese police which they then use to limit and control Internet freedom," Julien Pain of Reporters Without Borders told the forum in Athens.

"The governments of democratic countries should regulate the activities of Internet companies to prevent this kind of abuse."

So... democratic countries should strictly regulate the internet, to stop China from regulating it?

More than that was China saying they don't censor the Internet.

More than that was China saying they don't censor the Internet.

I'm sure that was said with a straight face. We see the same straight face here every time a politician says they support the 2nd Amendment, but believe in "reasonable restrictions".
