"Titan Rain" from China

Our "allies" in China are keeping up their end of our "friendship" (Washington Technology link gone. In essence, they're spying on us).

I thought that the Chinese were a patient people, that they take the long view. In the past, they absorbed and assimilated their conquerors. It would seem that their dalliance in capitalism has infected them with Yankee impatience. They can no longer wait to learn our mighty technological secrets through commerce but must resort to hacking our networks.

But maybe it's not them. Maybe some deviant mastermind is setting up China to look like the bad guys. If the U.S. government actually responded in some way, shape, or form, I might give that idea credence. But since all we do is sternly warn them (Link gone) about their snail's pace of letting the yuan float against the dollar, I don't give that idea much credit.
