In any case, China’s crackdown on straightforward reporting and discussion of events taking place in that country is not the suppression of a discredited political ideology, but of open and informed political debate. If Bill Gates really believes that the Internet should be a liberating force, he should ensure that Microsoft does not do the dirty work of China’s government.
无论如何，中国压制对国内事件的直接报导和探讨并不是压制一种名誉扫地的政治理念，而是压制充分理解信息后的公开政治探讨。如果比尔·盖茨真的相信因特网应该成为一种开放的力量，那么他应该确保微软不会成为中国政府的帮凶。
