Cyber War Between US-China?

Could there be a cyber cold war between the United States and China brewing?

The AP reports that the Chinese government has fired back at a U.S. congressional panel report that alleges the Chinese government of computer espionage attacks against US interests.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang released a statement from Beijing that rejected the panel findings.

From the AP:

The commission "deliberately slanders and attacks China" and always sees it in a bad light, Qin said. "It attempts to mislead public opinion and the general public as well as set obstacles for Sino-U.S. cooperation in extensive fields."

The panel of six Democrats and six Republicans said China's massive military modernization and its "impressive but disturbing" space and computer warfare capabilities "suggest China is intent on expanding its sphere of control even at the expense of its Asian neighbors and the United States."

Barack Obama-Kim Jong Il Meeting Could Be On Cards

During his Predisential campaign Barack Obama said he would sit down without preconditions during the first year of his administration with leaders of several nations whose governments have been at odds with the United States, including North Korea.

The South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak, said in an interview at the G20 financial crisis Summit in Washington DC that he would welcome such a move by the US President-elect.

"Barack Obama and Joe Biden will not take any options off the table, but they will emphasize first and foremost the power of American diplomacy and make clear the substantial benefits to Iran and North Korea of abandoning their dangerous nuclear programs while simultaneously conveying the enormous costs to them should they fail to do so," according to the Web site.
