Some people here are so hellbent on wanting to hurt the US they can't think clearly. As I pointed out the Chinese have destroyed the lives of MILLIONS of Americans. They don't care about that though.

I totally admit they are guilty. I see it every day! It's a mess here in Cali...a mess. However, there are others within our governments (Federal and State) that are facilitating this crap.
Honestly, it's a mess in Los Angeles County mostly. A real crying shame. I'm glad I live in Pasadena...we have our own government and there's just certain crap that won't fly around here. Never has...never will.
Come correct or don't come at all!
However, the Chinese are not very good at spying, obviously...they've been caught and it didn't take long to catch them.

The embarassment already happened. Admitting this happened would be worse than denial with no court case. They should try them in absentia.

This leads me to an interesting side question, when will the US get caught doing this and will it be an American company using them to crush their own competition? Wouldn't the history of theCIA favor that scenario?

I disagree, but only subtly. Generally I agree in over all point.
In my experience in the East, I have found that perceived embarrassment from a western perspective doesn't exist.
To say that another way; the Eastern mind is not embarrassed until it admits that it is embarrassed. Denial, obfustication, and blame shifting usually comes first.
To China I say;
don't be upset, the master will always see the apprentice as a child
and you have made great progress. If these last few steps seem hard,
just remember that these are the last few steps.

Since when does US law apply to people outside their country.

Those stores that sell that junk in America are American and the customers who buy that junk are also Americans.
The problem resides within the USA!

I maybe a bit thick but .....

Obviously these people have not broken any of China's laws. What makes the US think it can go and issue arrest warrants for people who (presumably) have never set foot on US soil, and who never will.
This is just insane.
No one asked for the US to be the world police and quite frankly, they are not suited for the job.
China will not like the utter hypocrisy of this US move, not one little bit. I think many countries are getting sick and tired of the hypocrisy of the US Government.
I don't understand what the US hopes to achieve or how they have evidence against these five. Did the hackers leave their names behind.
P
What does this have to do with World Police? Do you have the slightest idea what is going on? China is using it's military to sabotage American businesses and steal from them, with the goal of destroying the US economy and replacing US businesses with Chinese ones. They have cost the US over 5 MILLION jobs in the past 10 years.
originally posted by: OccamsRazor04I think we generally agree, and simply said it differently. That's why I specified it's much worse if they admit it.
However, I think the Western world knowing it happens with no proof is not bad, but actual proof that links back to China I think DOES embarass them, just a much smaller degree. So the strength of evidence will be important.
