China... and others and espionage - wheee!

I don't know if I should be paranoid, enraged or what at this point. Even back in my day in MI, we knew this was going on. I'm sure ppl like TH13 and others involved still one way or another knows this espionage going on, I just wonder if our government is doing enough to stop it? I have no idea, hence my question. But China appears to be taking "The Art of War" right to us. Also - are they spying on other countries, say France, Russia, the UK, and others?

Ok, I'll quit whining, for now, and just post it:

WASHINGTON — China is running aggressive and wide-ranging espionage operations aimed at stealing U.S. weapons technology that could be useful against U.S. forces, according to the nation's top spy-catchers.

Also, I realize China is not the only country involved in this against the US, and I am willing to bet someone's paycheck, that our country has it's share of espionage going on right now as well. And I take it that average frack Joe American can't do anything about this, except whine and craft conspiracy theories. And I whine because our own weapons and technology can be used against us (very Art of War like), by being either stolen and sold illegally or worse, sold legally - by our own government. :shocked: :verypisse

/shuttin'up... fer now

I'm surprise that they didn't mention Isreal in the list of countrys. These types of reports are why i find american media so funny. Everything is hyped up to the hilt.
Everyones know that this has been going on for ever. Every country in the world has an intelligence agency. Even the vatican.

MURACU

Come here whilst I plant a "UK Eyes Only (2B)" sticker on your forehead.

Now I can't debate this topic anymore after seeing that from McNews. I can't even keep a straight face right now as I was trying to think of something to write to debate. Nope - I'm done on this one.

Maybe when China becomes the world superpower, or India, or both, I will argue again, because then maybe our media will quit focusing on celeberties and focus on actual news. But then again... :rolleyes:
