China Hacks the United States

Red alert:

China hacked the New York Times.

China hacked the Wall Street Journal.

China hacked the Washington Post.

China hacked U.S. universities.

China hacked Twitter.

China hacked individual accounts of U.S. citizens and in order to extort money.

China is hacking all of the United States, including you.

In the past, China denied that it was doing any hacking at all. Recently its objections have become much lamer, and they have said something like "Well the U.S. is probably doing it too. So there!" The usual paranoid propaganda has been published in retaliation:  "Recently foreign media have been hyping up "cyber attack from China" and the talk of a "Chinese hacking threat" is in the air." As though the U.S. media were controlled by a single organization, or were making it up, or were all moving together, like a herd of like-minded animals. It just drips with disrespect for the individual.

China is a leader in corruption measures.

China is a leader in global warming contributions.

If this persists, Facebook and China will be racing neck and neck to be the first organization to gather all of the world's information, information that I own. Hurry up, guys. It will be so much cheaper if you do all the work for me, and I can't wait forever.
