Considering that the USA has similar cyberweapon capacities that are publicly known, I believe it's naive to assume that China isn't developing similar weapons.

Considering that the USA has similar cyberweapon capacities that are publicly known, I believe it's naive to assume that China isn't developing similar weapons. How can we link this weapon with China? I don't know, but it requires deep access to the colocation of major servers in China for sophisticated man-in-the-middle hijacking, so it seems like the number of organizations that can, in an intentional fashion, compromise a Chinese baidu colocated server is very small. When one considers the sophistication and access required for this attack, and the reality that China is developing cyberweapons, and the reality that China openly uses cyberweapons against the west in various capacities, it seems improbable to suggest that a third party is more likely the culprit than the state. It isn't as if accusing China is outlandish- we're merely saying that they're striving for cyberweapon parity with the USA...
