   Freedom doesn't mean you can do anything you like.  Also, freedom is for   
   humans, not entities.  Restricting the activities of companies is not a gross   
   violation of freedom, your personal freedom is not impinged.

   They will spin it in whatever way works best for propaganda back home.    
   Companies acting unilaterely are an economic risk, and if China and Russia   
   cannot remove this economic risk by political dialogue with the U.S. State,   
   they may use this as justification for further economic action against the   
   West, and cutting further ties.
