All this time, they’ve denied hacking into our defense department or corporate or infrastructure websites, but we now see how it’s been done… because they posted video of their software on YouTube!
A standard, even boring, piece of Chinese military propaganda screened in mid-July included what must have been an unintended but nevertheless damaging revelation: shots from a computer screen showing a Chinese military university is engaged in cyberwarfare against entities in the United States.
The screenshots show the name of the software and the Chinese university that built it, the Electrical Engineering University of China’s People’s Liberation Army—direct evidence that the PLA is involved in coding cyber-attack software.
The ChiComms may be ruthless but this again proves they’re not all that smart.
Well, WE aren’t exactly rocket-science caliber either, Bob. At least, not our Politicians and Gubmint.
We’ve got some incredibly talented and smart people just waiting to bust out and solve myriad problems that crop up, but the boneheads running the joint (into the ground, I might add) have so many “Thou shalt not” rules that they are choked, stifled, and suppressed. Still and all I do believe WE Americans shall prevail.
They are smart, but they are not perfect. More often than not, an individual’s ego betrays them.
They may also be distracted. With over 1.3 billion people who must be mindfully tended, it can’t be easy to preserve the communist elites’ wealth, power, and prestige.
As for “ruthless”, that is relative. Libya just fell to what journalists claim are the “rebels”. All in the name of “humanitarian intervention”. There was no precursor to that intervention and it cannot be validly defended on humanitarian grounds. Oh, well. Maybe it was a changing of the guard in order to accommodate the current administration’s interests.
Yeah, I’m a bit cynical about all of this. Still, we are not Chinese communists, and there is a chance that we will not experience that negative progress. Maybe this latest revelation will unite Americans in common purpose and confirm reality for so many who seem separated from it.
