Dopo gli attacchi a Google provenienti dal territorio cinese (ma non imputabili, vista l’assenza di prove, ad enti governativi e non cinesi) si fa un gran parlare della Cina.
Da Stratfor una valutazione organizzativa sui servizi informativi cinesi, con una breve introduzione storica da non sottovalutare.
China’s first intelligence advocate was military theorist Sun Tzu who, in his sixth century B.C. classic The Art of War, emphasized the importance of gathering timely and accurate intelligence in order to win battles. Modern Chinese intelligence began during the Chinese Communist Revolution, when Chiang Kai-Shek’s Chinese Nationalist Party (the Kuomintang, or KMT) created its Investigation Section. The Chinese Communists later followed suit with a series of agencies that eventually became the Social Affairs Department (SAD), the party’s intelligence and counterintelligence organ.
Google probing possible inside help on attack - Yahoo! News Source: news.yahoo.com 
SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Google is investigating whether one or more employees may have helped facilitate a cyber-attack that the U.S. search giant said it was a victim of in mid-December, two sources told Reuters on Monday.
Google, the world’s most popular search engine, said last week it may pull out of the world’s biggest Internet market by users after reporting it had been hit by a “sophisticated” cyber-attack on its network that resulted in theft of its intellectual property.
The sources, who are familiar with the situation, told Reuters that the attack, which targeted people who have access to specific parts of Google networks, may have been facilitated by people working in Google China’s office.
“We’re not commenting on rumor and speculation. This is an ongoing investigation, and we simply cannot comment on the details,” a Google spokeswoman said.
