The original speech was not about trade with PRC which is unquestionably good and desireable; but about cooperation with an organization whose _proclaimed_ goal is to build a politically censored version of Internet, and make uncensored networks completely illegal in PRC.
You seem to be contradicting yourself. On one hand, you say that trade with the PRC is "unquestionably good and desireable". But on the other hand you condemn Bay Networks for selling products and technical services to the PRC (as you should know, "partner" is marketing-puke speak for "they are giving us LOTS of money, so let's make them feel special"). If selling products and support to organizations that construct censored networks shouldn't we condemn BOTH Bay Networks and Cisco for selling to U.S. corporations that use firewalls and other methods to control/monitor employee's access to the Internet?
