China Accuses U.S. of Cyberwarfare

Don't they realize how dumb they look?<p>Their standard response to any criticism is to dig through things which have happened in the past as a result of US action, make huge leaps of logic, and then justify whatever it is they did in terms of that.<p>Never mind the right or the wrong of the issue...<p>I guess that's the sin/shame culture difference. For them it doesn't matter what they did, it matters that they got caught. And justifying it in terms of what someone else did means they regain "honor" or whatever the fuck it is they're trying to do...

Yes, China. Ensuring Twitter does not go down during times of civil unrest is definitely cyberwarfare. &#60;/sarcasm&#62;

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." - Joseph Goebbels<p>True in the 1940s and still true today.

"... said the article, according to Guardian"<p>Why couldn't Wired quote the original article instead of getting it second hand from Guardian?

This sounds like a preemptive attempt at a "tu quoque" (aka "no u") defense. China has been caught out in a fairly blatant cyberwarfare attack and is now trying to defuse blame. Not to mention attempting to justify their vast, ridiculous censorship efforts.

I've noticed that trolls tend to accuse others of the same dishonest arguing methods they use. For people just skimming the discussion, it looks like two people calling each others the same names...
