The United States has just brought ground breaking cyber-espionage charges against 5 Chinese military officials accused of hacking into U.S. companies to gain trade secrets on behalf of state actor.

The indictment accuses the hackers of targeting the U.S. nuclear power, metals and solar products industries. The alleged victims are brand-name companies including Alcoa and Westinghouse.

The indictment includes allegations of trade secret theft and economic espionage.

US hiding behind the "we engage in espionage" for good reasons but the Chinese do it for "bad reasons like state corporations". Infringing on privacy is criminal period and the experts in this, the NSA, are based in the US the same way the Chinese military unit #61398 is in China.

The US hypocrisy is captured in earlier leaked NSA documents that reveal the US spied on Chinese government and telecom giant Huawei http://on.rt.com/5o2vg0

Ironically, US own Cisco company has today written to President Obama asking that the NSA be held to higher "standards of conduct" following leaked pictures that show NSA staff openly packing crates containing Cisco gear. The NSA is believed to have intercepted private shipments and altered the networking hardware so the agency can more easily gather information about the people and companies it targets. He told President Obama that "these actions will undermine confidence in our industry and in the ability of technology companies to deliver products globally."

Forget those sanctimonious speeches, the US will do whatever they want legally or otherwise to achieve their ends.

I like the innovation from diversity in the US but the way some Wazuans worship any and all that is US including their political god, you can be mistaken for thinking it is contributing points to their "green card application".
