Helping the Chinese Goverment

Many internet based companies cooperate with the Chinese government in its efforts to limit the freedoms of the Chinese citizens.
Lately, EPIC, a US based civil rights organization, published that Cisco will be questioned by a senate subcommittee about an internal document that links Cisco with the Chinese governments' internet censorship policy.
In a interview for blogger Rebecca Mackinnon, confirm Terry Alberstein, director of corporate affairs, Cisco systems, that Cisco pamphlets promoting police surveillance equipment to the Chinese public security bureau were authentic and that Cisco does make business with the Chinese government but that all the equipment that is sold is legal and is not actually prohibited under the US Foreign relation authorization ACT.
I guess making money by helping an oppressive regime is considered OK by some corporations, try asking Google about it.
