It seems like china has found a new way to gain intellectual property and classified informations without hard work. I hope it won't hurt them at the long run, and even worst they don't care about the rest.


> I hope it won't hurt them at the long run

Why?


I think the world needs china , and nobody likes doing business with peoples you can't trust. The idea of closing a deal with a chinese company and feeling like, you may have your intellectual property stolen is not really exciting.

I don't know how much the world "needs" a China that behaves that way, but I'm pretty sure that it would be better off with a China that didn't.

How do you propose getting to the latter without causing some pain to the former? Remember - they're the former because they think that it works for them.


I don't understand this 'China+hacker' hype. Millions of hacks happen on the Internet everyday, what makes Chinese hackers so interesting?


Because they are always politically motivated, and are direct threats to freedom and liberty?
