However, compared with the untamed censorship, malicious intent, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/risk\/facebook-reports-china-linked-cyberattack-targeting-uyghurs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brutal wielding<\/a> of Red Tech against populations, US-based companies are still the best hope for establishing new ground rules that can hold boardrooms and powerful figures&nbsp;accountable.&nbsp;&#8220;Perhaps even elected ones &#8230;,&#8221; Saran suggested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>China&#8217;s Plan to Divide Democracies&nbsp;<br \/><\/strong>China&#8217;s Red Tech is more dangerous to democracy because, as Saran explained, it&#8217;s used to &#8220;control the domestic population and also make mischief abroad.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Big Tech has been able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/threat-intelligence\/china-linked-group-attacked-taiwanese-financial-firms-for-18-months\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insert itself into global democratic discourse<\/a> and divide wherever possible through the use of deepfakes, fake news, and its formidable troll army, Saran warned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The business model of China tech is to divide democracies,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The Chinese are ensuring they are part of any conversation, any political discourse in free societies \u2014 democratic countries.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Saran credits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/endpoint\/researchers-warn-of-stealthy-chinese-backdoor-targeting-multiple-foreign-agencies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese tech<\/a> for maintaining the country&#8217;s &#8220;brand&#8221; despite the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan by dominating and gaming the news cycle.&nbsp;&#8220;They were never held accountable for what happened in Wuhan,&#8221; Saran said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But thanks to the so-called Great Firewall of China, no other countries have the same access to make similar troubles for the Chinese Communist Party. This is no longer tenable, and Saran recommends a global ultimatum to Beijing: Let the world in or we&#8217;ll block you from the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can China Be Held Accountable?&nbsp;<br \/><\/strong>Saran said global tech&#8217;s reaction to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/cyberattacks-in-ukraine-could-soon-spillover-to-other-countries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine<\/a> by blocking Russian interests proves the sector has the ability to hold power accountable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can these same platforms work together to see that Chinese propaganda is offloaded?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Can they take action against Chinese manipulation?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The question is whether they&#8217;re willing to give up the Chinese market in the name of democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Going for a Transnational Future<br \/><\/strong>Transnational <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/cloud\/enterprises-are-sailing-into-a-perfect-storm-of-cloud-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tech platforms<\/a> also have an obligation to provide services with more cultural nuance, he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Facebook in India will have to have a different texture than Meta in the&nbsp;United States,&#8221; Saran said, adding that ultimately, it&#8217;s about taking better care of the people behind the usernames.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regulations could be an important part of the picture given that regional&nbsp;laws aren&#8217;t one-size-fits-all for a culturally diverse globe, Saran added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Transnational corporations need to have another level of regulation with some standards and
