China Expresses Concern at Revelations in Wikileaks Dump of Hacked CIA Data (reuters.com)
China has expressed concern over revelations in a trove of data released by Wikileaks purporting to show that the CIA can hack all manner of devices, including those made by Chinese companies. From a report on Reuters: Dozens of firms rushed to contain the damage from possible security weak points following the anti-secrecy organization's revelations, although some said they needed more details of what the U.S. intelligence agency was up to. Widely-used routers from Silicon Valley-based Cisco were listed as targets, as were those supplied by Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE and Taiwan supplier Zyxel for their devices used in China and Pakistan. "We urge the U.S. side to stop listening in, monitoring, stealing secrets and internet hacking against China and other countries," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a daily news briefing.
As a Canadian, it's become harder and harder to decide which country is the least hostile between the U.S.A., China and Russia.
I like most Americans, but your government? Yuck.

really?????? thats funny coming from china, the king of stealing IP
China is just mad that the CIA is using the backdoors installed in the equipment they build.
The Chinese are probably more concerned that their backdoors have been found than anything else.
