China is in no mood to rein in their cyber-warriors:
"We express grave concern about the recent disclosures of the U.S. government's cyber attacks on China," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement. "This once again proves that China is a victim of cyber attacks."
Hua said China has "made representations to the United States".
China would rather blunt our criticisms of their cyber-espionage by exploiting Snowden (assuming they had nothing to do with it in the first place) than scale their own cyber-espionage efforts back.
We locked and loaded our cyber-capabilities. Is Snowden the e-Lusitania event that unleashes the dogs of cyber-war?
We'll see if China has awakened a sleeping e-giant; or if we are cyber-midgets.
