Cyber spies invade China

It seems there are chinks in the Great Firewall of China.

China lost volumes of top secret data thanks to hackers. Interestingly enough, China is suspected of having infiltrated the computer networks of Western countries.

Vice Minister of Information Industry Lou Qinjian suggested several counter measures such as toughened censorship, new security bodies and commercial controls.

So who exactly hacked China's system? Lou claims that the US, in connivance with other "hostile" powers, infiltrated their network. It appears to Lou that the US and its cohorts have the means (superior technology) and the motivation (political infiltrattion).

The US of course, vehemently denies the accusations.
