The type of statements made by these politicians is intended for an ignorant audience. "Most favored nation" trade status, anyone?
If a billion people want to change their oppressive government, it will happen in time. Although in the U.S., our Federal government labels many patriots as terrorists.
It's obvious the "business" of TLD's is what drives ICANN. It's a shame there is not a way to force ICANN to enact reasonable domain name protections, a functional domain dispute process, or a method to assist victims of Domain Hijacks directly (re: gamesnet.net). Following the gamesnet.net domain hijack, ICANN refused to get involved in any way. Although GTE's domain hijack got immediate attention and quick resolve.
I've been advised it would take a class action lawsuit to obtain their attention. However, their status in the state of California protects them from this as well.
Too bad this wasn't the blog of an American citizen living in China. An American company assisting with foreign government censorship is quite ironic....
I suppose this will help U.S. corporations with their fight against domain theft. Although the U.S. attorney's offices don't like taking domain theft cases. i.e. http://www.gamesnet.net/
As useless as ICANN is, I do agree it would only be much worse if it ended under the likes of an international body such as the U.N.
