China accuses US of starting global 'internet war'

[Oracle]

BEIJING: The Chinese military accused the US on Friday of launching a global "internet war'' to bring down Arab and other governments, redirecting the spotlight away from allegations of major online attacks on Western targets originating in China.

The accusations Friday by Chinese military academy scholars, and their urging of tougher policing of the Internet, followed allegations this week that computer hackers in China had compromised the personal Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including government officials, military personnel and political activists.

Google traced the origin of the attacks to the city of Jinan that is home to a military vocational school whose computers were linked to a more sophisticated assault on Google's systems 17 months ago. China has denied role in the attacks.

Writing in the China Youth Daily newspaper, the scholars said recent computer attacks and incidents employing the internet to promote regime change in Arab nations appeared to have originated with the US government.

After Washington stated that hacking will be considered an act of war, Chinese are p!$$!ng their pants. Clowns I have not seen for a long time, Chinese I see and hear about almost everyday.

Typical amatuerish tactic of trying to deflect blame but throwing a bogus counter-accusation.

The US is not laughing this off.

The US in return allowed 10 major US companies to set up manufacturing plants in China. Thats what i call an eye for an eye, good show US.

How does this help? OR how is this related to this thread? I did not get the message you are trying to portray.

recent decision of UK and Australia going aggressively against cyber attacks and USA enacting legislation against these is giving them sleepless nights. China will find it very difficult to do it officially . But who has stopped them to hire non state actors , something like Cyber terrorists . It wont be that easy to put blame on chinese government if some individual/group is involved .

It means China has never been penalized by the US in any major way for all its bad behavior, instead it has been heavily rewarded by the US with a lot of Business. I dont see US doing anything harsh to China even after this.

Yes! Same with Pakistan too. What US says and does is completely different. Maybe this is because of the 100s of billions of dollars China has of US treasury bonds.

Its not just money, its their hypocrisy of talking for Democracy and Human Rights while merely fight for oil, resources and cheap labor in China.

This is not the license raj of India. If you know anything about US business policies - then you know that the US does not interfere in the investment decisions of private companies unless it is deemed to be security related, or strategic technology.

If US company XYZ which manufacturers consumer items or farm equipment or whatever decides to set up a base in China - they do it. They don't need export license clearance unless the technology is considered as I mentioned above.

Really? So anyone can trade with Iran,North Korea,Zimbabwe and may be the US will lift travel ban to Cuba as well?

I didnt think Iran was any more different than China.

We have seen US indulge in protectionism when it has been in threat economically, like the Steal Row with other countries where US imposed tariffs and everyone fought for that to be removed. To be morally superior when there is no threat is not a big deal, it is only when such challenges occur and you lose your compass and invoke protectionism the real face emerges. Dont flatter yourself, i am just saying China is one of the nations that had to be sanctioned a long time ago for violating Human Rights, funding wars against US, invading Countries like Tibet, bullying democracies in the region and yet it is rewarded with US business, while countries like Iran are under sanctions.

Didn't China start that war by hacking every server they could get into?

no country on the earth has the capacity or quality to "penanlize" or "reward" CHina......

BTW, with what can USA can reward/penalize CHina? nuke or greennote?

Most of the business you enjoy and take for granted came from USA. Without US business setting up factories you would be no where. All your arrogance is fortified by US not putting sanctions on your country like on North Korea.

Chinese hard to admit mistake, that Chinese character. One of famous Chinese professor studied it recently. but I can not find English version.
and he also don't give any solution.

anyway, most of time, Chinese will correct mistake more or less.

Chinese are not the hardest, Japanese are.

Interesting. American business anyway went after cheap labor (it's debatable if only 'cheap' is enough) and a vast market for overseas investment. Could u explain to me why MOST investment flooded to China which had been hostile and is still 'evil' including this internet war while there were/are many other destinations, such as India??

India has also received a substantial amount of FDI in numerous fields of labor, indeed India today was an early recipient of IT systems and networks long before China modernized. The investment in China BTW has nothing to do with favoring the Chinese or exploiting their peoples for cheap labor, if you happen to think that way then you lack a considerable amount of knowledge in economics; particularly the free market. You should give thanks to people like Milton Friedman for making it possible for the Chinese to increase their standard of living and attain wealth:


As for Indias progress lagging behind Chinas; that is partly due to the fact Indias politics is still mired in the days of Centralization and Socialism of post-independence. The moment they drop this, you will probably see a major catch up.
