What's the advantage to the Chinese government in acquiring the personal info of 80 million Americans? Are they going to bring it up in the next meeting with President Obama? "You know, Barack, it'd be a shame if all that info about your citizens got misused. A real shame-like." That'd be silly. I just don't see their motivation in being behind it. The usual motivation for stuff like spying and data theft is the acronym MICE - Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. It's unlikely to be money - we're already shipping dollars over there like crazy. It's also unlikely to be Ideology - the Central Committee are closet capitalists these days. Coercion - I don't see them trying to trade this for reducing our support for Taiwan. Ego. Ego is a possibility - but they're not teen-aged boys.
