Speaking from my own limited anecdata, but since the 90s in order to use the internet in China you basically had to be somewhat proficient in "cybersecurity" just because of all the required hoops to jump through. There were definitely a lot of script kiddies, but the Chinese exploit scene (amateur and professional) has always been bustling. And just personally speaking, the most truly awe-inspiring and resourceful hackers I've ever known have been Russian, or Chinese. Like actual 10x engineers who think that walls put in place for other people don't exist for them.
- coretx 2y agoWestern society is criminalizing and repressing such culture, so China has already won because they fail at doing the same.
- Aeolun 2y agoThey are very clear about who is a valid target though. I think you’ll quickly find that those attacking domestic targets rapidly disappear.
- medo-bear 2y agoKinda works both ways. In many western countries you still go to jail for refusing to give private encryption keys
- coretx 2y agoOr they convict you for money laundry because you developed a crypto phone they can't crack and don't have any legal means to destroy you. ( Dutch example, and yes - the guy payed taxes everything, they made him hang because of a single client of a client his client his client being involved with shady things. ) State-Spite, Repression and such is rising globally. The rule of law is gone.
