China's Cyberassault on America: Obabba Sleeps - SumOfAllFears - 06-15-2011 11:24 AM
China's Cyberassault on America
If we discovered Chinese explosives laid throughout our national electrical system, we'd consider it an act of war. China's digital bombs pose as grave a threat.
By RICHARD CLARKE
In justifying U.S. involvement in Libya, the Obama administration cited the "responsibility to protect" citizens of other countries when their governments engage in widespread violence against them. But in the realm of cyberspace, the administration is ignoring its primary responsibility to protect its own citizens when they are targeted for harm by a foreign government.
Senior U.S. officials know well that the government of China is systematically attacking the computer networks of the U.S. government and American corporations. Beijing is successfully stealing research and development, software source code, manufacturing know-how and government plans. In a global competition among knowledge-based economies, Chinese cyberoperations are eroding America's advantage.
The Chinese government indignantly denies these charges, claiming that the attackers are nongovernmental Chinese hackers, or other governments pretending to be China, or that the attacks are fictions generated by anti-Chinese elements in the United States. Experts in the U.S. and allied governments find these denials hard to believe.

Do the Chinese expect us to believe they can control their entire internet except this?

They openly laugh at our ineptness. They stole our nuclear secrets (with Clinton's help IMO). The counterfeit our money our products, and intellectual property rights mean nothing to them.
The US is China's pissboy.

Something more than nothing. It is par for him, leading from behind, you know.

Threaten to unleash nuclear Armageddon on China if it does not stop the cyber terrorism. Seriously, the world did not want to mess with America while Reagan was president. Many countries feared Reagan because they were afraid that he would "push it too far". If China respected the U.S. and feared retribution for bad behavior, it would not be nearly as aggressive. Unfortunately, China does not respect American power.
