I wonder if US hackers hack around other nations' network, would it ever make it to the news...
Or even Russian hacker groups...
There are a lot of hackers in the world, why point the finger at China and China only?
Not that I like China, but dirty politics is dirty, you want to get stuffs passthrough, you start a fire to lit the community up...

A more properly written article on identical news, already on the Toms front page:

Perhaps check the front page before you submit duplicate articles, Kevin?

Oh man, reminds me of the old rumor that the Chinese were stealing PS2s off the boats for the chips. Some people were saying that they could guide missiles and that's why the Chinese wanted them.

Sure, there are Russian hackers, US hackers, etc. But China is the only one blatantly attacking our civilian sites for no other reason than hopeful censorship and bad press, while acting like a 7 year old caught with their hand in the cookie jar. (Nu-uh. I didn't do it, that wasn't me *hand still in the jar*)

Thank you for an intelligent and factual rebuttal that goes to the root of the issue here: Chinese censorship. They might be able to control their own media and misinformation, but we will be damned in the West if they ever attempt it with ours. To hell with China.
