Wants you to believe China cyberspying on the US constitutes the greatest transfer of wealth in history. Famous last words.

If you’ve been following along it’s no secret the US government and the national security industry have been waging an increasingly concerted campaign to increase cyber-defense spending. The lynchpin of the strategy is the relentless argument that Chinese hackers, under the guidance of its government and military, are into all American corporate business, military networks […]
