Bruce Schneier, fellow at Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society and author of “Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World”: “I think it’s posturing. It’s basically the same thing that the U.S. says, and the U.S. hacks foreign government and corporate networks all the time. The problem is that there aren’t any laws that protect foreign networks, and there aren’t any relevant international treaties that limit commercial espionage. So I wouldn’t expect China to be any less aggressive on the Internet than the U.S. is.”
