Quoting:When Tenzin Seldon, a 20-year-old sophomore at Stanford, logged onto her Gmail account from New York over winter break, she may have helped Google understand the widespread penetration of its network by unidentified hackers in China.http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_14195105?nclick_ch... |

Quoting:The GSP is a global initiative that provides national governments with controlled access to Microsoft Windows source code and other technical information they need to be confident in the security of the Windows platform. The China Government is one of the first governments around the globe to sign the agreement.http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/feb03/02-28GSP... ;-P |

Umm, they look at the source code to see if windows is secure? Seems like a waste of time to me. |
