Google Boss Schmidt Labels China An 'IT Menace'

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt uses a new book to call China an Internet menace that backs cyber-crime for economic and political gain, reports say.

The New Digital Age - due for release in April - reportedly brands China "the world's most active and enthusiastic filterer of information".

China is "the most sophisticated and prolific" hacker of foreign companies, according to a review obtained by the Wall Street Journal(WSJ).

China denies allegations of hacking.


Revolution coming?

Beijing has been accused by several governments, foreign companies and organisations of carrying out extensive cyber espionage for many years, seeking to gather information and to control China's image.

That isn't the only kind of menace that China is. They are expanding their military and bullying Japan over ownership of islands in the East China Sea. They have constantly been threatening to take back Taiwan whom we have a military treaty with, until the election of Obama. Since I have not heard one word about that since Obama came into power, he may have secretly already given them Taiwan. It would be a temporary pay off to China to not start forcing us to pay up on massive debt owed to China by us.
