US arrests Chinese hack suspects
 

In a desperate attempt to make people stop thinking that is spying on everyone, the US government arrested some Chinese officials and accused them of hacking.

Last week the NSA was caught opening the boxes of Cisco routers to install spyware, so the arrests have served to distract the American press a little and allow it to pretend to be a victim again.

The United States charged five Chinese military officers and accused them of hacking into American nuclear, metal and solar companies to steal trade secrets, ratcheting up tensions between the two world powers over cyber espionage.

China immediately denied the charges, saying in a strongly worded Foreign Ministry statement the US grand jury indictment was "made up" and would damage trust between the two nations.

US Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference that when a foreign nation uses military or intelligence resources and tools against an American executive or corporation to obtain trade secrets or sensitive business information for the benefit of its state-owned companies, we must say, 'enough is enough'.
