All I can think to say is:

America and the *Free World* had better be prepared for all out assaults 
on targets that may not be able to be foreseen.

Ala.Pearl Harbor?!

It seems that China is gearing up for a tech war.If we don't have 
countermeasures in play,we'll be squashed.

Just listening in on American transfers to other links seems woefully 
insufficient.

But we don't hear from China's IT in this regard.Not like I can call 
China's equivalent of the NSA and ask them,'Hey,Any assaults from the 
Anericans?
'Be sure,it is of top priority,I hope!

that
