China Goes Crazy After US Arms Sale to Taiwan

After the sale of defensive weapons to Taiwan, China showed discontent by calling the sale a "crude interference in China's internal affairs."

The weapons, according to the Pentagon, include 114 Patriot (PAC-3) anti-missile systems, 60 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters, 12 Harpoon Block II Telemetry missiles, 2 Osprey Class mine hunting ships and a command and control enhancement system.

The U.S. responded by criticizing China's tightly controlled Internet and it's obvious interference in prominent U.S. corporations' private information. Many speculate China's government is behind most of the hacking attempts, seeing plainly the source IP addresses coming from China, often routing through botnetted computers in Taiwan. Focusing mostly on Chinese political activists and valuable corporate and military secrets and designs, their increased activity prompted Google's withdrawl from the country.
