I mostly liked the bits in the end:

"

When President Obama paraphrases the U.S. cybersecurity strategy at a
town hall meeting in China as “the more freely information flows, the
stronger societies become,” China thinks, “You’re a guest and that’s
just rude.”  

When the U.S. says, “We will work with partners in industry, academia,
and NGOs to harness the power of connection technologies and apply them
to our diplomatic goals,” Russia thinks, “We were so right to kick out
those foreign NGOs.”

"

I'd also like to add my own:

When the U.S. says: "We would like your citizens to have proper access
to the Internet", North Korea thinks, "We are to allow our citizens to
hear what happens in the South and to hear slander about our fearless
leader."

I love the smell of post-truth in the morning. Also, I guess you have a
really good internet connection in Shenzen.
