I wrote this response to an article written by Military.com about China hacking into the Pentagon. The site allows members to post comments on just about all their articles. People can be as ignorant or as informed as they want and still comment. This is what I had to say, I didn’t read the article and therefore didn’t comment until there were already fourteen pages of comments. Here is the link, and if you want to look at the comments, go to the bottom of the page and click on the “Join the discussion” link. There are a few things I would like to change in how and what I wrote, but since I can't change them on the site I posted them on, I won't change them here either.

In the words of Homer J Simpson “We’re going to rule the world soon anyway… Wait… We’re China, right.”
In 1996 Clinton allowed China to launch US satellites (or try to at least). They blew up one satellite belonging to Loral Space & Communications Corp. Loral then taught the Chinese how to build rockets so they wouldn’t blow up and would get to where they were going. Meanwhile Clinton was meeting with Chinese Mafia, military, and Intel people; China was selling parts for nuclear weapons to Pakistan, and the PLA was putting funds into the Democratic Parties account. That was all in just the first six months of ’96.
I don’t know what, if anything, Bush has done. But, if it is anything like Clinton, I don’t see the big deal in China’s spying since we will probably just give them anything and everything they want in the long run. China has also been known for reporting a defense budget that is significantly lower than what they are actually spending. They have a larger military then what they report, and like Russia continue to sell arms and technology to the enemies of the US. I fully realize that they really have no obligation to be honest with most of what I have talked about, but why wouldn’t they unless they have something up their sleeve?
So, those of you who are saying “ah, it’s not a big deal, we do the same, blah blah blah’ and spew ignorance like it is going out of style; open your eyes and do a little investigating of your own.
Some other interesting things: Alaskan fishing companies sell their catches to China; China turns around, packages it and then sells it to the US for more than what they bought it for. While the US fights in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Chinese are studying our tactics (Sea, Air, Land, and Electronic), and finding ways to counter it all. Infantry tactics says a good ratio for battle is three (us) to one (them), with the size of the PLA (Peoples Libaeration Army) this wouldn’t be possible.

I'm not politically involved so I cant say anything decent about it, but I will say (with the hopes no one stabs me in the back), I have been studying hacking for the past two years and truthfully it isn't hard... Now I don't know what the pentagon is running for defenses but I'm sure when you got a billion people in a nation your sure to pump out some genius's who could probably demolish them... Again like I said earlier, I'm not involved in politics-I don't care- but unless we have some sorta super tech branch in our government who's sole purpose is do defend us from electrical attack, I think It will be possible to bring massive pain to our nation...
