How China Will Use Cyber Warfare To Leapfrog Foes
The Walking Dude writes "A lengthy article published in Culture Mandala details how China is using cyber warfare (PDF) as an asymmetric means to obtain technology transfer and market dominance. Case studies of Estonia, Georgia, and Project Chanology point towards a new auxiliary arm of traditional warfare. Political hackers and common Web 2.0 users, referred to as useful idiots (PDF), are being manipulated through PSYOPS and propaganda to enhance government agendas."
As opposed to enlightened McCain supporters such as yourself, right?
Except in my case, I AM an American. (Although I did live in Canada for about 4 years growing up, but I don't think that counts.)
And I don't see how Obama bashing is "Anti-American". Hell, most euroweenies that I know LOVE Obama. I guess because he is a socialist like them.

Yeah, but then no one would do business with China.
Thus the Chinese would have to go back to eating dirt and dying in Tsunamis all day.
In two days, their left wing buddies will be elected and they will be able to just ask for it.

Sorry bud - had to take away a 1/2 point on the last one for living in Canada for 4 years.

Damn, the Obamods rolled out of bed early this morning! It's a good thing this is my trolling account. Maybe if I post enough, I can eat up their mod points so the adults can have an uncensored conversation.

Answer this : "God damn America !" - McCain or Obama
Why does this kind of tendentious fearmongering regularly make the front page at slashdot?
Every week there's some story about evil Chinese hackers or evil Russian hackers stealing others' secrets. The equivalent stories about evil US/UK/French government hackers doing this are mysteriously absent though. That despite the fact that these countries have larger and much longer established electronic intelligence programs than the Chinese could hope to (Echelon anyone?).
I'll go along with the idea that the electronic intelligence gathering programs of major Governments are a worrying development, though calling this "cyber warfare" and pretending it's somehow qualitatively different from traditional spying seems a little silly. But why is there the pretense that other major governments are somehow less keen to exploit electronic intelligence than the Chinese? The American foriegn policy bias on this site is worrying. If this level of paranoia was directed at the US government there'd be a hundred posts complaining of "anti-americanism", yet I see no posts decrying the "anti-chinese" or "anti-russian" bias of these types of articles. Funny that...
