Re: Not detected
I read a sci-fi short story back in the 70's or 80's that talked about how a couple of terrorist cells smuggled pieces of a pocket nuke into several US cities and then set them off, triggering a nuclear exchange between USSR and USA. The story was written as a top secret report on that piece of history, and the last paragraph (as I recall) ended with the revelation that China was now the top dog, and had instigated that action. That was before anyone really thought that China had anything going for it.
I think that China has more ability than most people think they do, it is just the fact that they have much more people at a lower 'standard' than the 'West' causes many to think the entire country is that way. And yes, you are probably right about innovation, the information available implies that the penetration of our systems was a result of some of Microsoft's trade deals with China and the MS Windows internal information that they got and the ability to find more of the hidden 'features' that most of us consider holes or bugs in the Microsoft software.
