Surprise,surprise, surprise! Our Chinese friends have hacked into DoD computers. What a shocker! Everyone is up in arms about lead paint, and defective toys. But does anyone see the real danger in China, the PLA? The PLA (People's Liberation Army) is not quite a bunch of democracy loving guys seeking to liberate the people from communist oppression. It is in fact the military arm of the Communist Party. The same folks who brought us Tienanmen Square.
The US Government continues to downplay the threat that COMMUNIST China poses to the United States and the rest of the free world. We hear about sub-standard health and safety standards. But, the real threat is found in the PLA. This latest incident will be overlooked by most outlets, downplayed by the rest. Yet, this threat is very real. The United States security is based on the premise that we are technologically superior to our enemies. In 2006, China fired high powered lasers designed to knock out our satellites. This was near the time that our own Congress denied funding for a satellite and star tracking program that had the potential to be used for ASAT purposes. The funds were reinstated only after assurances that the system would not be used for ASAT.
Now we have the PLA actively attacking our DoD computer networks. But, they are our friends, or at least we want them to be so we won't do anything to upset them. I wonder if anybody in the US has read Sun Tzu. Everyone is so afraid of the stereotypical "hacker" sitting in his dorm room with stale pizza and soda that they real threat goes unnoticed. The PLA soldier sitting in front of a computer screen at a Chinese military base, with hundreds of his comrades.
Other questions that have China as the answer:
1) Who is the newest country to build nuclear submarines armed with nuclear missiles?
2) Who is building an aircraft carrier?
3) Who is engaged in massive espionage against US high-tech and military companies?
4) Who holds large quantities of American government debt?
WAKE UP America! China is not our friend. We once had a great president who made decisions based upon the ideas of "trust but verify" and "peace through strength". That worked pretty well. Before him it was "walk softly but carry a big stick." Reagan and Roosevelt are well represented by the ships that bear their names. Unfortunately, the country that they loved is squandering their legacy and becoming more like France before WWII.

So, you think some nuclear powered subs with nuclear missiles in the hands of an unfriendly state are more dangerous than a My Little Pony that MIGHT have a little too much lead?
I never understood why George H. W. Bush declared something to the effect of "communism was dead" when the old Soviet Union fell apart and the Berlin Wall came down. Reports of its demise were apparently very exaggerated. The Soviet Union is not so slowly reforming and China never went anywhere. It appears the West made the same mistake the GOP made politically in 1994 - win a major battle and mistake that victory for winning a war. Both the West and the GOP now have a lot of ground to make up.
The Olympics next summer should be very interesting. I predict there will be stories coming out about how the athletes from certain democratic countries will be told to keep their mouths about some of China's human rights "quirks".
CHINA = Communist Hackers In North America
