Things will get really interesting when the first carriers decide to stop peering with China, effectively cutting it off. Although in a twisted way this would be what the regime wants (no "harmful" content coming from the rest of the world), it would certainly anger them at the same time because it's not something that can be fixed by threats against the foreign carriers since they are not under chinese jurisdiction.
