Cyberwar

An interesting series about the realities of cyberwar, including how the US identified 5 people in China, by name, and filed (apparently useless) charges against them. They also detail how a person in a company that makes superconductors and wind turbines, had an employee get 2 million and sold their source code and tech to China, and China promptly sold pirate wind turbines in the US. The company lost 50% of it's value from 1.5 billion to 750 million in one day. Goes back to the discussion of what is property and what is unique and belongs to you. Ties in with the hack of the emails by the supposed Russians and how that impacts elections. Pretty good.

    The oil embargo was the thing that pushed them over, on top of the steel one. "If handled carefully" is the rub, I have not noted any of our governments handling anything "carefully" since pre-WW2 or even to the 1800's (maybe). Manifest Destiny seemed to take over and run the train....

    Well, the west could economically sanction/blockade Chinese products until the wrongs were made right. Of course, such a sanction on oil against the Japanese likely pushed them into justification of war against the country responsibile (thanks to FDR's war mongering.) If handled carefully it would make clear that such thefts would not be tolerated without a resulting punishment.

    I do not know, they just referred to the US Justice department and 5 "arrest orders" that placed the 5 chinese on the most wanted list.I would say the World Court is so weak, and takes so long, any claims would be moot by the time anything was done. Look at what happened when they ruled against China and the South China Sea, they are in violation and the Chinese ignored it. Then they started building more bases on artificial islands.
