TAKEAWAY: A popular media conception is there's a coordinated attempt
by the Chinese government to hack into U.S. computers and steal secrets. However, notes Bruce Schneier, China's hackers (and there's a lot of them) seem to be mostly young, male, patriotic Chinese citizens -- and they're not working for the government. Schneier says while it's great that the U.S. government is using the
threat of Chinese hacking as an impetus to get their own cybersecurity
in order, he hopes the U.S.
also recognizes that these groups are not acting under the direction of the
Chinese military, and doesn't treat their actions as officially approved
by the Chinese government.
