In this 5 minute piece Dr Michael D Frick, author of “Chinese Industry 4.0 Designing high-tech solutions under the cybersecurity regime of the People’s Republic of China” and I talk about China’s difficult relationship with Github: on one hand, the intrinsic nature of open source code shared via Github - let alone the fact that Ghithub allows all sorts of other information to be shared - can easily undermine the Online Content Management (read ‘censorship’) policies which are part of China’s Cybersecurity regime, while on the other hand, access to standard libraries and the ability to collaborate on software projects is a key enabler - arguably a necessity - for most software development.
