US warned of China 'cyber-spying'





China has stepped up computer espionage against the US government and American businesses, according to an influential Washington congressional panel.

In its annual report to Congress, the panel warned that China was gaining increasing access to sensitive information from US computer networks.

It said China was aggressively pursuing cyber-warfare capabilities to gain an advantage over the US in any conflict.

There has been no comment so far from the Chinese on the report.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission was set up by Congress in 2000 to advise, investigate and report on US-China issues.

It alleges that the Chinese are looking for diplomatic and military secrets in government databases, and potentially lucrative industrial secrets held by American corporations...

OK, allow me to suggest that this may not be such a bad thing, at least the part about "industiral secrets held by American corporations..."

Let's listen in on a conversation in the home of one of China's computer cyber-war hackers...

"Honey, we have been lied to by our government!"
"Goodness, what do you mean we have been lied to?"
"Well, you know how we have been told over and over the superiority of our People's Republic way of State Ownership over all property, life and business...compared to the West's way of Free Enterprise? And, you know the way we have been told that when one of our glorious country's leaders goes to visit in the US how they always take him to a 'prepared' location in an American city so they can control what our leader sees? How they stock the store shelves with much merchandise and stack the store shelves with rich and abundant food goods...even wonderful meat selections in many varieties...to give the false impression that Americans all have similar options for a rich variety of foods and consumer goods?"
"Yes dear, the deceptive captors!"
"Well, dear, it is our government that has been lying to us! America does have a genuine abundance of not only manufactured goods and services...but they actually do have a tremendous abundance of a marvelous variety of foods on their store shelves over the entire country! I have now seen it with my own eyes while spying on their companies computer information networks!!! It is unbelievable the abundant resources that the Free Enterprise System has brought to the American Public! I am in total shock at the abundance in America!"
"No! You must tell me that you are kidding me!"
"I cannot tell you a lie my dear, I am telling you the truth! And you know how our government touted the new deal they made with the American chicken producing company, Tyson Foods, how we were going to be getting the blessing of their prized chicken feet to ensure that we and our children will have at least the meat of one chicken foot a week for our bodies meat needs, and how much healthier we would be to each have a chicken foot a week? The American's think of chicken feet as somehow undesired leftovers from the remains of the chicken! They only eat the legs, thighs, breasts...but some do now seem to like the wings of the chicken! I actually ran across this article while spying on the Tyson company!"

...Tyson started working with China in 1991 exporting chicken and chicken parts to China. The company recognized early on that product considered waste, such as chicken feet and wing tips, were prized in China....

"We have been lied to my dear."

"Then we must do something!"
"What can we do?"
"We must start telling the truth about the American blessing and our despair."
"But, who will listen, and how can we escape our governments harsh reaction to our information drive?"
"Honey, you are the computer spy expert, you can figure out a way to let people know the truth at last. You must get the information out to our people about the wretched way we have been lied to...and start a movement toward the truth. I will stand by you, even to the point of imprisonment and even death if necessary so that our people will know. Chicken feet are not a delicacy!"
