then be used by them to further attack the US.

Does anyone know if these China scares are for real?  The probability
they are simply Pentagon/Administration propaganda seems too high
to discount.  I ask because we've seen no increase in the (already
substantial) number of scans from CN/KR/HK/... netblocks.  Does
any hard evidence exist?
