China Warns off Retaliation after US Hacking Charges

Obama's gang of Keystone Kops have shot themselves in the foot once again.  This time, Attorney General Eric Holder has accused five Chinese military officers of hacking into American companies to steal trade secrets and plastered their faces on an FBI "Wanted" poster.  

Business Insider cites a Reuters article, China Warns Of Retaliation After US Hacking Charges datelined Beijing quoting unnamed State Internet Information Office spokesman that, "China has warned the United States that it would retaliate if Washington presses on with charges against five Chinese military officers accused of hacking into American companies to steal trade secrets."

The spokesman continued with a counter-accusation that, "The United States "attacks, infiltrates and taps Chinese networks belonging to governments, institutions, enterprises, universities and major communication backbone networks." 

The Chinese spokesman's statment is confirmed by Glenn Grenwald in his recently-published book, No Place to Hide, in which he states, "For years the US government loudly warned the world that Chinese routers and other Internet devices pose a ‘threat’ because they are built with backdoor surveillance functionality that gives the Chinese government the ability to spy on anyone using them. Yet what the NSA's documents show is that Americans have been engaged in precisely the activity that the United States accused the Chinese of doing." (Page 147, UK Edition)

So, first, the Obama Administration mindlessly rekindled the Cold War with Russia.  Why?  Because they realized that they had squandered the $5.1 billion they had spent since 1992 "supporting democracy-building programs" in the Ukraine when 96.7% of the 83.1% of the eligible voters among the inhabitants of Crimea decided to reunite with Russia in a referendum that was peaceful--not a shot was fired--democratic and entirely transparent. 

And now, Obama's gang that can't shoot straight is picking a fight with and infuriating America's number one creditor, China which, according to Treasury Department data, held $1.27 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds as of February 2014.

Jagor's comment:

If Obama and his infantile henchmen think that they can prevent the Russia-China rapprochement with a few ridiculous "sanctions" and "Wanted" posters, they are living in a fool's paradise.  

Real diplomacy is not conducted by reckless and bellicose actions more appropriate for comic strips or Hollywood westerns.  Real diplomacy is not conducted by overgrown children playing Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and Indians.  Real diplomacy is conducted by adults, acting as adults, not adults acting like petulant children.

Jagor's questions:

Do numbskulls like Eric Holder and Barack Obama and a fifth column of neocon holdovers from the George W. Bush Administration infesting the State Department, including the notorious provocateur Victoria "Fuck the E[uropean] U[nion]." Nuland, actually sit up nights thinking up more ways to damage the United States of America?  Could their actions be potentially impeachable?

Postscript:

And how did China retaliate against America's infantile diplomacy?  Why, for starters, by signing a $400 billion contract May 21, 2014, to import natural gas from Russia for the next 30 years in what is described as "the gas deal of the century."
