President [ Xi Jinping's ] administration has been sending signals for some time that it would be driving toward becoming more self-reliant and less under the control of major trading partners like the The United States.

My prediction : The' crackdown' is going to stop now, the Xi administration is very committed to economic growth.

The Chinese government is sending a very clear signal to Chinese tech firms and to the rest of the world, that Chinese organizations must work in lock-step with The Chinese government, companies that have grown too big and global too quickly will be reined in to ensure that they are working together with the Chinese government's priorities.

Since the blowup with Alibaba over the last year, it is clear that the Chinese government wants to send a very clear message to all tech companies operating in China, if Doug Guthrie want to operate safely and securely in China today, Doug Guthrie must be an ally of the Chinese government.
