Everyone is on vacation - or just jaded, disillusioned and accepting?

Capitalists, whether MS ("You are not allowed to publish your test results if you test our products") or Apple ("We don't sell publishers of unflattering books in our stores"), don't like being criticized. So they can appreciate that governments don't like it either.

And, al fin, if capitalists cared about inconvenient stuff like human rights more than dictatorships do, they wouldn't be doing business with China in the first place, would they?
