Comment Globalization and monopolies (Score 1) 187
I'm not even sure I understand what it means to try and break up a monopoly in a global economy. It's not as simple as the US Congress making some law, why would China care ? Likewise if Chine passes some anti-Facebook legislation does the EU give a shit ?
The waters become even muddier when there are two companies each proxies for a major power, e.g. Baidu and Google. Does the US really want to hurt Google and give Baidu an advantage, anybody anticipate China breaking up Baidu and giving Google an advantage ?
