#1 Sigh. This sort of thing really is the death of the internet. The idea that everyone should be equal, and communication should be possible everywhere, is being ruthlessly exploited by the worst possible people. It's amazing what America did with the internet, and it's going to come crashing down sooner than everyone thinks.

#2 A little reciprocal ruthlessness would go a long way. Hold China responsible and just pull the plug.

Exactly! A few filters here, a few ACL's there, on some key border routers and Viola, no traffic into or out of China.

#4 The hackers are specially trained members of the PLA. It's no use pretending otherwise. There probably isn't much use pretending our guys aren't hacking right back at them.

Fun and games.

The upside is that dealing with it forces us to learn how to make our systems more secure. You might say it makes us tougher...if it doesn't kill us.
