Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Foreign tech firms
pose threat on Internet
While being
accused of its military cyber-attacks to the US government and private
entities, China itself accuses the US and its tech companies of their cyber
information theft and wiretapping. (“wireless-tapping” to be precise these
days?)
It seems that the
two rivals have gotten into a cyber-war, like the US and the Soviet had a
cold-war in the late 1900’s. Though the impact and effect won’t last as long as
the ones nuclear radio activity poses, cyber weapons and attacks could cause
even greater devastating damages to the lives of people, business operations and
social infrastructures around the world in a matter of a blink affecting as
many as millions because things and people are so tightly related and connected
each other than ever before via the Internet.
Which side had
initiated the attack before the other responded or which does more than the
other is no longer the issue. Each has its own say. However, interestingly, this
Chinese semi-state-run media uses a quote from Al Jazeera, a Doha based
broadcaster owned by the ruling family of Qatar, along with “experts” of their
own country. A new ally of China?
Enjoy reading and
learning how one side accuses the other in the cyber space.
