#2 Sure, but as with any infrastructure the more advanced country will be more vulnerable than the more primitive one which relies on such systems less.

#3 China desires mil bases down there - also, it has quietly formally asked the USA to divide the Pacific into differentiated spheres of influence-control.

#4 China has been doing this a lot lately. How about we disconnect them from the rest of the internet for a couple of weeks?

#5 "also, it has quietly formally asked the USA to divide the Pacific into differentiated spheres of influence-control"

I hope the US told them to FOAD, Joe.

#6 If America can't come up with some sort of server-melting trojan horse we deserve to get hacked. Every time China noses at our cyber-doorstep another Beijing mainframe should slag down.

#7 Sure two can play this game, but why tip your hand?

I worked a few years ago with a really sharp software program manager who had previously been with one of the govt. focused systems integrators. He'd been running teams developing industrial strength hack/crack tools for telecom and Internet infrastructure penetration and disruption. He described many of the applications as being "one time use only". You could think of them as being zero day exploits that have never seen the light of day.
