This is somewhat old news by now. If it really was China's military that did it then that is an act of war and a direct attack on the US. China has been throwing its weight around a lot lately and the US and its allies really need to show that they will not be pushed around. What do the rest of you think?

Well, this is a hack that we've been told about. I'm sure no other government does anything like this.

Never mind. They hacked into the governmental computer networks of the German bundeskanzleramt, too, just one or two weeks ago. They told our Merkel that from now on they would behave. So don't worry, it was not meant as bad as it looks.

Maybe they feel lonely and just want to play.

Or maybe they are pissed by Mattel's hypersensibility.

Isn't that what all countries' intelligence agencies do to those who might be enemies? Or friends?

I think all these power nations hack into each other from time to time - china was just silly enough to let themselves get caught.
