I don't see where it bans companies from doing business in China, just
where it imposes penalties on companies who violate human rights. 
So--
Opening a hamburger stand in China - OK
Installing listening devices in your hamburger stand and handing the
tapes over to the Chinese government - Not so much.

I would say that it does, but the bigger question is what's the "right"
answer?  "Make the world a better place" or "make more money"?

        Now, this may be a good idea:

         

        
http://www.pcworld.com/article/190579/senator_to_introduce_internet_huma
n_rights_bill.html

         

        The basic idea: The law "would impose criminal or civil
penalties on U.S. Internet companies that bow to pressure of foreign
governments and violate human rights."

         

        Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US
companies from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So would
this put our companies at a long-term disadvantage?

         

        Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company
that operates in the US.
