OK this concerns classified info, not everyday internet safety for the masses, but remains an interesting read.

Considering the pompous buffoons now in charge here things will probably be worse when they get done fixing things!

OK guys, end of joke  ;) the article reports that the two countries are discussing how to protect their classified stuff, and doesn't relate the classified stuff itself obviously  ;D, nor is the article going into details about foreseen measures of protection, obviously too  :-X

Perhaps such talks may eventually lead these two countries, plus others, to then address net crime in general.  Hey, it's a start!

Chinese military and technology companies including software companies only grow by stealing from others especially the US.

If US builds a very good cyber defense then China will revert to the stone age.

Cyber defense in the US is very lax now...

On that same note, if China where to call in all the notes the US Gov. owes,
we would all have to learn to speak Chinese.
Soon the Chinese Government will start financing our new Health Care System.....  :( :'(

Don't worry about Chinese withdrawing their notes. It won't happen because if they withdraw then the dollar will fall very hard.

This will cause the Chinese lose foreign exchange becoz US goods will become cheaper and Chinese costlier.

US is the largest Chinese export market.

Just think about IObit, how they stole from Malwarebytes.
