China Whines

As usual, everyone is out to get China:

China has suffered "massive" losses of state secrets through the Internet, a senior official said, as China faces reports that it has raided the computer networks of Western powers. Vice Minister of Information Industry Lou Qinjian said his country was the target of a campaign of computer infiltration and subversion and proposed a raft of counter-measures including toughened censorship, new security bodies and commercial controls. He did not address recent Western allegations of cyber-spying against China.

The government response to any issue is child-like: we are the victims here. Quit saying bad things about us. I keep thinking: Stand up. Be a man. If you got caught spying, do what everyone else does - deny it boldly. The whining on every subject from quality issues to pollution to the internet grates on the ole nerves after the 10,000th time.
