It seems obvious why the Chinese government would deny espionage activity especially after being accused of using this software in over 100 countries. However, if China was not using this technology for spying, then what other purpose does their government have for the software?
I can not believe that China has caused such a threat to 103 different countries. This is shocking. I did not know much about this topic but i found it informative to learn about this computer spy software. It is interesting to see how many different programs this function can affect.
I believe that China isn't the only country in the world who are spying on their own citizens or other countries. It is just a matter of being caught doing so or not. Okay, maybe China is being too pushy domestically, but again, who are we to say that they are wrong? Do all countries have to be democratic to be a good country? I'm not saying democracy is bad and I myself enjoy the freedoms democracy gives us. But why do we always measure other countries using our own scale? My friend showed me a video last year when riots were breaking out in Tibet which I thought was pretty interesting, so I'm just sharing it with you guys. Again, I have nothing against democracy, and I do believe that people should have the freedom to make decisions for themselves, but I just find it interesting how we always hear such negative interpretations of what non-democratic countries do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QNKB34cJo
Yeah, China is definitely more outright on how they handle their citizens. Even Youtube is banned in China. Why? Maybe because it allows too much free thinking. There is definitely things we don't know as citizens of the United States, and things we will never know. However, that is the structure of democracy. Ultimately, it works fairly well for us.
I find this news to be mind-blowing. That fact another country can hack into classified documents! Some unknown spy network believed to have been controlled from China has hacked into on government and private computers in 103 countries. This information scares me, because if our own government cannot find out what system it is, my own right to privacy must not exist. I think our own government actaully taps our phones and hacks into the citizens informtion. However, my question comes as, why do thay need information from us? Is there anything in particular they are looking for?
I think the fact that China is even in possession of this software, not to mention that they have actually been using it, is a total violation of one's privacy. I've heard this controversy be compared to the phone taps associated with the Patriot Act, but I think this is far different. I can respect other countries who choose not to have a democracy, but I don't respect countries who spy on not only their citizens, but use this software to hack into computers in different companies for their own political gain.
Its no secret that the Chinese government have always been in competition with the United States government of Political, Economical and Military power. I wouldn't even put it passed them that, assuming they do have the technology to hack into our computers, would go and do that because the Chinese Government is always looking for ways to decrease U.S power and influence. Not to blame them because if the U.S were in the same situation, whose to stop us from doing the same thing. The point is that our government is not the only government with capabilities to spy on citizens and hack into other countries' computers as well.
