Argument 1
Should the US Institute policies barring corporations from selling computer system overseas that support censorship
To be honest Im going to try my best to be open minded here but in all honesty the companies may be based in the United States where there are laws against barring freedoms however in China there are no such regulations, the US should not have the right to block major companies from selling their products overseas, which brings money into the US economy. The US should not interfere with companies who are just trying to make money, the American dream. The government should care about human rights dont get me wrong but we have MUCH bigger problems on our hands then Chinese human rights we need to fix our economy, get out of debt,were in 2 almost 3 wars, have thousands of troops deployed around the world, have a major unemployment problems, Chinese Human rights should be relatively low on our to do list. However on the other side it is understandable that human rights are being violated and some view we need to step in, like we have for most other situations, Also stepping in will get the Chinese people to view the US as a peace keeper and get on our good side. Unfortunately we don't owe 7 trillion dollars to the Chinese People, we owe 7 Trillion dollars to the Chinese government and we want to stay on their good side as long as possible human rights violations aside, I'm just being logical here, cutting them from their computer systems (Which are made there by the way) is not the greatest idea.

Argument 2
Will evolving technology help the Chinese get rights
I could answer this in one word... No. The people can speak up all they want however until they actually revolt like the Arabic nations have they will not get any more rights. Also no one wants to help china they only have very few allies, one being Russia and Russia has enough problems on their own. The Chinese people need to revolt if they want things done, it has worked in the past and is working currently in Arabic nations, and the sheer numbers of the Chinese people are enough to get a good revolution going. This is coming from a histroy major, peaceful revolutions work but it takes more then a few thousand people on twitter to do anything voicing yourself on the completly anamous internet is not going to change anything it takes action.
