its development of business relationships with the illegal Myanmar junta, Geedge is learning lessons about business in countries with compromised rule of law that it could potentially apply in strong democracies. Its “successes” in Myanmar should be a warning. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US has already revoked the authority of another Chinese company's authority to provide telecommunications services in the US.90 Similar fates await the countries into which Geedge expands with the lessons it has learned, the companies it can partner with, and the case studies it can develop, in Myanmar. Geedge and its business partners in software, hardware, and technical services will only become more sophisticated against the interests of democratic countries and militarise the civilian public good that is widespread internet access. Democratic countries are at risk of allowing compromises to their own data sovereignty and regulatory control by failing to prevent the development of business models among its less democratic neighbours. These countries should urgently push back against the commercialisation of China's “Great Firewall” as a global threat. 33
