China: are you kidding me on the cybersecurity aspect?

Every time I’ve covered China, its always been bad. According to this article from the Diplomat entitled Expanding Cyber Demands Embolden China’s Homegrown Cybersecurity Darlings I am starting to wonder. Unless I’m mistaken, China has the great wall firewall, and we’ve talked about this great wall and its complexities since the podcast started. While the blog has been on jaredrimer.net for years, those articles may or may not be available on the Internet anymore. I’ll let you do that search on your own time, but I do remember covering China very diplomatically because of the firewall issues. I believe if memory serves, that they even cut off their own citizens back in the day?

I’m hoping that this is a new turn for China, and that this will turn out well.
