      Netflix is a bad example, but Amazon and Disney do a lot of business with China. Amazon had e-commerce and web services offerings in china. Also they, like Apple, manufacture a LOT of shit there. Disney is simpler. They want to sell their media in China.

        I wonder if this was a Youtube channel he owned… Would google capitulate? Though I can’t imagine it would be worth it for Jon to be on Youtube.

          YouTube is blocked in China and most other oppressive regimes. You can definitely find lots of china criticism there.
