No one doubts that IPs coming from China log-in-with-stolen-passwords into Gmail, hotmail, and mail.yahoo every single day.
Or that there are attempts to steal worthy information and data through other means.
Some of these attempts are state-sponsored, some are corporate-sponsored, others are crime-sponsored.
Russia does this, US does this, and just about every other player does this.
This happens every day.
It's nothing new.
The point is that Google entered China (the #1 known player in this game of hacking and espionage), then when the expected happened, used it's PR machine to pretend they were pulling out because of some of these attempts, with the main focus (in that PR attempt) on the dozen email accounts of activists.
