Ahhah! So by having "GIG fiber links and are so far ahead of the US broadband industry" makes jailing someone for 10 years for speaking freely OK?
That's the clincher. He wasn't speaking freely. Speaking freely isn't allowed in a communist country.

He violated that countries laws, plain and simple.

This has nothing to do with free speech, or free journalism, or any freedom whatsoever. They don't allow it.

China blocks most major information outlets from the western world. I guess all that bandwidth goes to piracy, spam, and government-sponsored hacking of U.S. servers containing classified technology.

So he was jailed for 10 years because he had something to say about press restrictions. Give me a break.
Welcome to China.
Yeah, but they have GIG fiber links and are so far ahead of the US broadband industry as we see reported time and time again here on DSLR.
