Isolating, Not Taming: What's Behind the Impetus to "Digital Sovereignty" in Russia?

Putin particularly expressed reservations about the successful Russian search engine Yandex, as it is registered in the Netherlands for, as Putin stated, “not only… taxation purposes but for other reasons, as well.” A week earlier, during his annual call-in TV show, Putin also referenced the internet when, responding to a question from Edward Snowden, he rejected any mass surveillance of the network by Russian law enforcement agencies.

Chine. Les handicaps majeurs de l’économie chinoise
Le fait de chausser les seules lunettes de l’économie pour étudier la Chine peut conduire à des erreurs de perspective.
Et encore, dans ce cas-là, il ne s’agit souvent que du commerce extérieur chinois.
Or, le pays non seulement voit des formes de contestation interne à la fois se multiplier et se diversifier, mais ses responsables politiques devront affronter des défis internes considérables.
On connaît les grands chantiers, actuels ou à venir : laissés pour compte du développement, gestion des mégapoles, natalité, vieillissement de la population, systèmes de retraite, corruption, violences sociétales, liberté d’expression, etc.
Comment donc réduire toutes ces vulnérabilités ?
