China accuses US of using cyberwarfare
China raised the ante at the weekend in an escalating war of words with the US as the ruling Communist partys mouthpiece accused Washington of employing cyberwarfare. The editorial, published on Peoples Dailys website under the name Wang Xiaoyang, is the latest shot in an exchange of remarks that were triggered by Googles threat to pull out of China but are escalating into a full-scale dispute over the diverging values of China and the west.
The US was the first country in the world to introduce the concept of cyberwar; it has introduced and developed a new kind of army, a cyberarmy, and even set up a hacker brigade, Peoples Daily said in a vitriolic editorial. US intelligence agencies can, through technical means, fully monitor, follow and erase online information harmful to the US national interest. It is really ridiculous that under such circumstances, it demands other countries to allow the free flow of information on the net.
