Yup. And China is SOOOO reliable and friendly....NOT!

You likely noted this factoid :

Clear and Present Concern

Concerns about cybersecurity are frighteningly real. Just three weeks ago, the Commerce Dept. revealed that attacks by Chinese hackers forced one of its bureaus to cut off Internet access and discard virus-infected computers. It was the second such major attack on U.S. government computers since July. This threat of hostiles sabotaging networks or opening secret back doors for spying is what motivated the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission in April to recommend a change in how the State Dept. used some of the PCs it bought from Lenovo Group, the PC giant that started in China. "It's clearly a legitimate and present security concern," says Larry M. Wortzel, the commission's chairman.

If it weren't so dangerous...this would be amusing that the two stooge depts. that had been so quick to brush off security concerns over the sale of IBM's PC Division to Lenovo...now have to EAT CROW.

What I do remember that most people lately seem to have forgotten is that China stole the plans for the MX missile a few years ago.

Sorry, the Peacemaker doesn't make me very happy in their hands.
