Re: Energizer Bunny's software infects PCs said by trparky:First it was tainted children's toys, then tainted food, now tainted program code. What next? Processors that intentionally send your private data to China? Honestly, I don't know why we continue to do business with China when so far they have provided us nothing but reasons to not trust them. Please remind me where processors (or any other computer equipment) are made now?
Why we continue to do that? Because we have outsourced almost all manufacturing industries to other countries. It's "cheaper" for those who make own money via that process. Good for them, bad for those, who lost manufacturing jobs here, in the US... Now we have no choice, but to do business with China...

"in May 2009, the US owed China $772 billion."
Now, as of Dec. 2009:
Fun reading, eh?
Try this for a security angle:
Will China Use Its U.S. Bond Holdings as a Weapon?

quote:
Following the $6.4 billion U.S. arms sale to Taiwan in January, some members of the Chinese military have advocated using China's considerable U.S. Treasury bond holdings as a weapon to retaliate against America. In a recent article in Chinese magazine Outlook Weekly, senior army officers at China's military university called for a stern response to the arms sale, stating that "we could sanction [the U.S.] using economic means, such as dumping some U.S. government bonds."
And we wonder why they put spyware in our software?

2 edits | caffeinator  , the only thing that's protecting us from China performing a "credit call" on the United States is the fact that they would get nothing in return, it would instantly crash our economy, and their (China's) economy would be royally screwed in the process as well.
In other words, we would both be screwed in the end and China's leaders know that. They'd be stupid if they did that.
