I read this article yesterday and thought about posting it...but my eyes had grown slitty with rage against the ''yellow peril"!...(with misquote apologies to the late Duke of Edinburgh) We should scavenge the Chinese wreck with rare porcelin cargo just found in the South China Sea... and see how they like it in return!??https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nat...75659401.html# but the problem goes much deeper https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-h...ijing-9a7e880d

The activity blends in with normal Windows system activities, allowing the actor to evade detection.

The news underscores how vulnerable the U.S. is to cyber attacks and deep virus plants that we may never discover until a conflict erupts. As it happens, that bad news coincides with a list of 10 well-timed bipartisan recommendations that the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party adopted this week to preserve “peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”

The committee warns that “U.S. critical infrastructure is vulnerable to CCP cyber attacks.” People’s Liberation Army hackers, the report notes, “could target naval and aerial ports of embarkation to slow down our ability to send American forces to the theater, as well as shut down much of our nation’s economic activity.” Sounds like that’s what China is already planning. The report recommends grants for port operators to improve cybersecurity, more testing and other measures to add “resiliency.”

Now that British and American submarines are
shifting operations to Brisbane Australia, together withthe adoption of nuclear sub technology by Australia as in WWII to counter Japan's 1940's imperial ambitions, the the Chinese complaint about Western "encirclement and containment" gains merit...the more so as Australia, Japan, the Phillipines, and Guam are carriers Sino-imperialist ambition cannot readily sink.

For development, China needs the world, and the world needs China. We will continue to foster a market-oriented, law-based and world-class business environment and share China’s market and dividend of openness with companies of all countries. China will never close its door to the world. We are ready to work together with all countries that wish to pursue win-win cooperation with us for global prosperity and common progress.
