Chinese Company Suing Blizzard = Huge Bag of El Oh El

Now, paint me a true blue-blooded freedom-loving American who hates seeing more and more enterprises going to China, a communist nation with very little personal freedom.  And here’s an example 2 of why we, as a nation, should rise up and demand US Corporations who filter billions of dollars into China pick up shop and leave.

( Example 1 is the recent toy scare, by the way).

Example 2: http://chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2007-08/15/content_6027819.htm

I read that and think instantly that it’s the perverse Chinese government wanting to move in and grab some easy capital from a large corporation.  And if they’re going to sue Blizzard, what’s going to be next?  China suing Wal-Mart.  Do we even want to start thinking about the ramifications of such a thing?
