It would have been so cool if the USSR had its own internet and shared it with China and China were still running it now because wouldn't it be great to stop hearing about how people think firewalling the entire Chinese IP space will keep hackers out.

But realistically nobody wants two internets that are incompatible. We already have IPv6 which is incompatible with the rest of the internet and that's enough trouble as it is.
