Actually, it is more like: we cannot let China tell the rest of the world what the internet should become.
Given what they do to internet traffic as it crosses their borders, I think the best course of action would be to cut China off completely, and let them have their own private national network. When they tire of this, reconnect them on the condition that they do nothing to filter traffic based on (assumed) content (i.e. take down the "great firewall").
Chinese censorship is less severe than US censorship. If I want to find out what is actually going on in the world, I get a better view from Chinese sources. Chinese accounts of US events are generally closer to reality than US accounts, which tend to be dominated by official truth.
