Off with their heads

If this report is true, whoever orchestrated this attack -- industrial espionage or just hunting for information about political dissidents -- has caused a huge embarrassment for the Chinese government. While the Chinese government continues to tell the world to stay out of its internal affairs, it has gone to pains to engage the world as an equal to the US. While the US spies -- even on its friends -- it's usually not industrial espionage -- or it's good enough to hide its trail well. Whoever did this got caught, and that can't bode well for his head. I expect if there's any mea culpa from China, it will come from a scapegoat, who will shortly lose their head after an expedient trial.

"If the report's findings are correct, it suggests that the government of China has been engaged for months in a massive campaign of industrial espionage against US companies."
