>…Amazon book reviews as political weapons or a form of concession to a foreign power.  Do we think the State Dept. or White House put pressure on Amazon?

 

We don’t know if they stopped at the foreign power.  If they did this for one author, we must presume they did it for many.

 

>…I imagine that book censorship is pretty severe in China, but would they reciprocate, and if not, then what?

 

Amazon isn’t the government.  Amazon isn’t required to do what either government asks.  They have lost credibility with that revelation.
