| US and China Reach Historic Agreement on Economic Espionage |
| 2015-09-30 |
| [Wired] THE US AND China have been sparring for years over allegations that the Chinese government has been hacking US companies to steal trade secrets. Today the two announced a historic agreement that, at least on its face, puts an end to this kind of spying. President Obama said during a press conference today with visiting Chinese President Xi Jinxing, that the two nations have reached a "common understanding" to not conduct or support cyber espionage and intellectual property theft for the purposes of commercial gain. There's more at the link. The agreement does not cover so-called "nation-state spying" so if they keep breaking into White House, Pentagon and Hildebeest computers it's OK. And with all the bots they most certainly have in other countries the Chicoms probably feel they can keep on doing whatever they want and blame it on third parties. (Wudn't us.) Anybody wanna take odds on whether Champ got snookered? |

| #8 The transfer of US Marines from Okinawa is supposed to begin en masse in Year 2020, AKA the Year China would like to see de facto US withdrawl or pullback from East Asia + WESTPAC towards Hawaii-EASTPAC + US West Coast. Year 2020 NLT 2025. PCORRECT-DENIABLE MILPOL "COINCIDENCE"? - WE'LL SEE SOON ENUFF. * GUAM + PACIFIC ISLANDS = USN BB USS OKLAHOMA = US STATE OF OKLAHOMA = AFFECTED BY "PERFECT STORM" OF BOTH NATURAL + MAN-MADE FACTORS. |

| #7 Right after the emergency removal of any assets associated with the US government, as the hacking compromised their security. Unless we did the same and Chinese assets are fleeing to avoid capture, it doesn't seem to be much of an agreement. |

| #5 About as useful as Reagan's agreement with Mexico City to stop the invasion after his amnesty. |

| #3 Not bad, but personally I'm more concerned with the details of how China + US will supposedly "share the Pacific". |

| #2 I assume he wanted to get snookered to cut "Whitey" down to size some more. |
