Honesty in (ANY) Government hasn't existed for a lot longer than I've been around. (That's been a few years. :) )

Read about new Poodle exploit: https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2014/12/08/poodle-bites-tls
and test your domain for it: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
If this is not a domain you own you are not to publish eventual scan results

Not sure if your serious or not Bob, are you suggesting that China be broken up? The 3rd largest country on the planet, the country with the largest population on the planet, the country with the largest economy on the planet. So who will break it up, the United States? Not going to happen, the US has enough problems of its own and probably 50% of the planet wishes they would break up. I really hope you weren't serious.
Why are you trying to turn a satirical answer into a political discussion ???
Here in the US it's been a practice that when a company gets to big and powerful, you slap a monopoly tag on them and break them up.
(Then they usually wait for the little companies to get big enough to do it all over again....)
