Good question

"Wouldn't it have been something if CEO John Chambers had shown more interest in how his company's technology was going to be used?"

Does a company have a responsibility, in the absence of government restrictions, to determine how its product(s) will be used, and refuse to sell if that use is disagreeable? Could Cisco have really been able to influence how the government of China would use its products?

And as for China: it's amazing how many people will denounce China on the one hand for its human rights abuses and cheer it on the other hand for its support of open-source. All the while, these same people wouldn't touch Microsoft with a 10-foot pole, regardless of what Microsoft does. Is Microsoft really that much worse than the government of China?
