No. The Chinese government will fancy a 'centralized' internet that the government has total control. It will try as hard as it could to make sure the internet is 'centralized' and dismantle anything that is distributed or P2P. Some ISP in China doesn't even allow you to use a public IP. So I think this IPFS thing is most likely a huge threat to the GFW(Great Firewall) system of China. I hope this thing can eventually tear down the entire effort of the Internet censorship in China.
I didn't mean to say that they would do something 'decentralized' - of course they wouldn't. But possibly something 'better' than HTTP.
One of the things about the net, is that it's transactionally open.
There's no inherent identity/or security, it was grafted on with SSL - 'kind of'.
I suggest it might have been better if identity were required to even make connections, to avoid many kinds of attacks. Hopefully, it could be done in an unbureaucratic manner, also wherein 'identities' can remain de-facto anonymous.
My main point was that 'http' is kind of old, but we're stuck with it unless a 'major power' does something about it.
I know what you mean. But this 'better' than HTTP thing would only be a dream in China. Most websites, including some very big websites in China, have no concern about security. It will take longer than you can ever imagine for them to embrace SSL.
