Miles on Nostr: China's new cybercrime bill isn't about crime. It's a tariff on information â ...
China's new cybercrime bill isn't about crime. It's a tariff on information â protectionism for a surveillance monopoly. Every real-name decree, every VPN ban, every exit restriction is a tax on transaction velocity. The Party doesn't fear hackers. It fears ideas it can't control and capital it can't trace. Markets route around censorship. But every layer of friction slows growth. The wall falls not because it's immoral â but because it's economically inefficient. Full stop.
