Chinese hackers have been behind several high-profile cyber attacks in recent history, and the most recent attack is no different.

Reports arose Thursday that the Office of Personnel Management -- the U.S. agency responsible for overseeing and managing employees of the federal government from all branches -- was the target of a massive, large-scale attack which may have compromised the data of up to 4 million federal employees, according to government estimates provided to the Associated Press.

Is this all to do with the claims America has made that China is growing in size and power in the south China sea, and that America secretly flew one of their P8-A Poseidon aircraft over Chinese airspace, I think so. China is getting its own back. If America can dominate the Pacific regions with their Navy, then why can’t China retaliate, when they do, Obama doesn’t like it. Why this world cannot work together, instead of work against, then we could achieve so much more.

China are just showing America they won't be bullied in to submission, just like they have too many other countries. Everyone thought when Obama took office America would change, when in fact he's no different to previous Presidents, in secret he is told what to do (just like many other leaders, the one’s below can make them fall) i.e., the NSA, now according to Obama the sun shines out their rear ends, and the war on terror has dealt a further blow to the terrorists heads, and the NSA have done us proud. Yet, before he took office he pledged to stop such invasions of privacy, yeah right!

China:

Let's say the products may some not so good in quality But hacker skills are way very far compared to others.

This is the reason why some fictional games we play, China represents more as hackers to interrupt all the services as possible but it incorporates the reality which still true at all.

They have a very strong pride to make counter attack on lots of issue thrown to their country.
