No... wait. They didn't. I thought that would get your attention.
Instead, they denied that any hacker attacks from China occurred. And said that the U.S. is really the source of hacker attacks.
China delivered a bristling response on Monday to the United States’ demand that it investigate recent attacks on American computers from Chinese soil, saying that any suggestion that it conducted or condoned hackers’ intrusions was “groundless and aims to denigrate China.” ....
Denigrating China is a bad thing. Worthy of a death penalty if you are a Chinese citizen. Worthy of drastic action if you are a foreign country.
The newspaper quoted a Chinese analyst as calling Google’s complaint “a U.S. government-initiated strategy with covert political intentions.”
Sounds like Kim Jong Il of North Korea.
Even the Washington Post is upset. They don't care if China guts our economy, but they don't like hacking and challenges to free speech on the internet. Neither do I. But I wish they would figure out the same analysis on the economic side of things.
The Obama Administration has, I think, seen that their China-is-our-friend strategy has failed. The reality is China-is-our-rival. Maybe not an enemy, but a rival. A reset in policy, including trade/economic policy, is needed.
Passing a bill to counter currency manipulation would be a good start.
