Chinese originated spam and abuse is so outrageously widespread, I don’t understand why there isn’t a conversation going on about cutting them off from the wider internet. They blocked most of it anyway.
This false dichotomy is impressive. A single country accounting for for 50+% sets up the choice to be, “a global network with a lot less spam and a regional island with a lot of spam” vs “a global network with a ton of spam barely connected to a regional network that much of the spam originates from”.
Calling China "a single country" minimizes the fact that it contains 18% of the world's people. It's hard to call something a "global network" if it leaves out that much of the world.
