The Economist summed it up pretty well: Russia had to get a deal done, and the Chinese got a favorable terms as a result. They’re hardly staunch allies, just global powers that share some, but not all agendas. I’m happy for the Chinese people that the country will burn less coal as a result.

China on Hackers…
What’s funny, the U.S. accusses china of launching Hacking attacks, and threatens they’ll do “pre-emptive” hacking attacks of their own if the attacks don’t stop.
Then that China Cites 68% of hacks to it’s military website come from the U.S…
Then the U.S. says -in the same article- that they don’t launch state sponsored hacking attacks.
LOL But I guess the U.S. is set up for them? lolol…

I read that article too. I suspect citizens of the west are a bit more free to do things than those in China, like hacking. I am sure ECHELON is a form of hacking that has benefited the english speaking nations that are the controlling members. But the primary purpose of ECHELON is not to steal secrets. I am sure some information does trickle down the benefits friendly nations companies, but again, not the primary purpose as unit 69318.
Interesting stuff to me at least!

We should have nuked china during the Korean war when we had a chance…

LOL, now that would make for an interesting alternative history novel! I suspect the soviets would have gotten a bit more powerful without the soviet/sino split. The cuban missile crises could have gone hot. Talk about the law of unintended consequences!

Perhaps the US is finally taking China and theft of intellectual property seriously.
President Obama upbraids China over cyber attacks
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21772596But the devil is in the details. Did he ask politely in between asking for loan requests or was it a bit more assertive as in threats of tariffs to compensate for theft?

China calls U.S. the “real hacking empire”
They are calling us greedy arms profiteers who sow discord among the neighboring Asian countries.
Apparently, our arms sales in the region have increased a lot following reports of the new chinese carrier and the dragon stealth fighter.

Only if they build new KFC’s with Chinese drywall or sheetrock.
