Google.cn Attack Part of a Broad Spying Effort
CWmike writes "Google's decision Tuesday to risk walking away from China (Um, the world's largest Internet market) may have come as a shock, but security experts see it as the most public admission of a top IT problem for US companies: ongoing corporate espionage originating from China. It's a problem that the US lawmakers have complained about loudly. In the corporate world, online attacks that appear to come from China have been an ongoing problem for years, but big companies haven't said much about this, eager to remain in the good graces of the world's powerhouse economy. Google, by implying that Beijing had sponsored the attack, has placed itself in the center of an international controversy, exposing what appears to be a state-sponsored corporate espionage campaign that compromised more than 30 technology, financial and media companies, most of them global Fortune 500 enterprises. The US government is taking the attack seriously. Late Tuesday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a statement asking the Chinese government to explain itself, saying that Google's allegations 'raise very serious concerns and questions.' She continued: 'The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy.'"
Wouldn't you be scared if a woman who answers phone calls at 3am while dodging sniper fire turned her attention towards you? ;)

We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.

I believe in this case, the appropriate joke would be "1998 called, they'd like their joke back."

The Chinese government is corrupt, authoritarian, and oppressive.

Carry on.
Yours,

It put the fear of God into the Pakistanis.
To be fair it was clearly a marriage of convenience and not a real marriage. She's was and is doing the same thing. The difference is no one in their right mind would admit to sleeping with her.

President Hu Jintao: "Ogh! You must have very big pee-anis!"
President Obama: "Excuse me? I was just asking you what you’re up to with these cyber attacks on America Companies!"
President Hu Jintao: "Nothing. We are very simple people. With very small penis. This hacker's penis is especially small."
Chinese Hacker: [fakes a sob] "Uh, smuh, so small."
President Hu Jintao: "We cannot achieve much with so small penis. But you! Americans. Wow! Penis so big! SOOO big penis!"
President Obama: [flattered] "Well uh, he—I guess it is a pretty good size."
Chinese Hacker: "Minata, kite kite!" ["Everone, come come!" A group of Japanese women move in, chattering] "This-a man has veh-ry big penis!" [the women applaud]

First of all, try to prove that anything except for yourself even exists. You can't.
Um, no, it's trivial. All I have to do is define the term "exist" properly. Something exists if, from my point of view, it's distinguishable from nothing. If someone wants to object to that definition, well, they'll have to "exist" in order to do it. QED.
