Quote:

"中国人也在采取类似的措施。'红军'已经建立起'蓝军'。'蓝军'所要做的，正是要探测自己的电脑系统，找到薄弱环节。

"五角大楼承诺，不久即将公布有关将网络攻击当作战争行为对待的详细计划。美国很有可能采取超出网络之外的报复行动。这些报复，不单单是一连串的1和0，而是美国人所说的更为'动态'的手段。一位美国军界高官最近一针见血地说，'你把我们家的电网拉垮了，我们很可能朝你家的烟筒里扔导弹'。这可不是自尊心受到伤害后随口说说吓唬人，这话，是说给中国听的。华盛顿相信，北京对网络攻击的后果存在'文化误解'。

"美国政府委托起草的报告说，黑客的技术之先进、精深，以及参与的人数之广众，远远超出了最强大的犯罪团伙能力之所及。报告得出结论说，只有外国政府才会想购买这类信息。

Note: That is Mark Mardell. But I fail to find the presumptive English original.
