China doesn't control anything. They know their supposed firewall is pretty useless. Cause who really cares to blog about the Tienanmen square anyways. Chinese people who really want to blog about it simply proxy channel encrypt their online activity.
What publishers would like politicians to do, their only argument, is to do what the Chinese government stupidly does about any mention of their Beijing square to the online exchange of all copyrighted works.
Basically, the only chance publishers have to survive, is if they can have the Governments enforce unworkable China-like firewalls to filter or even block all bittorrent, emule and other darknets activity. The publishers only means of survival is if they can control the device people use to download ebooks onto such as signing exclusive anti-competitive deals with Amazon about exclusivity on the Kindle for example. And then hoping that Google or any other company doesn't come with an open device alternatively. Cause they know that the day that an open device is on the market, it is obviously going to dominate the market and open means publishers loose their only chance of control.
