Leaked document: EU Presidency calls for massive internet filtering
China’s example is massive.China’s success has proven that countries can succeed without  adopting western liberal freedoms. In fact, success adopting only a small subset of economic and personal freedoms, and none of the political freedoms. The economy is good, the state is stable..Proof of concept for non-liberal systems.This means freedoms need to be argued for on their own merits. Free speech for its own sake. No censorship for its own sake. etc.Much harder. Much more prone to compromise and erosion.
