#1 [China has] evinced little proficiency with more sophisticated hacking techniques, the paper reads. The viruses and Trojan Horses they have used have been fairly easy to detect and remove before any damage has been done or data stolen. There is no evidence that Chinas cyber-warriors can penetrate highly secure networks or covertly steal or falsify critical data.

My. Aren't we superior.

Whatever they're doing, it's working.

What does that say about our actual vs. imaginary "defensive" capabilities? Our actual vs. imaginary offensive capabilities?

They're installing trojans in hardware and USB devices.

They're investing dollars to steal billions of technology.

This paper is wishful thinking.

Their cyber-warriors don't have to penetrate anything when they're selling us all of our computers. You're telling me you understand every little bit of firmware that goes into those things? Hell, they're even selling us our SSL certificates now. This guy is delusional.
