Chinese Paper Warns Google May Pay Price For Hacking Claims

suraj.sun writes with this excerpt from a Reuters report: "Google has become a 'political tool' vilifying the Chinese government, an official Beijing newspaper said on Monday, warning that the US internet giant's statements about hacking attacks traced to China could hurt its business. The tough warning appeared in the overseas edition of the People's Daily, the leading newspaper of China's ruling Communist Party, indicating that political tensions between the United States and China over Internet security could linger. Last week, Google said it had broken up an effort to steal the passwords of hundreds of Google email account holders, including US government officials, Chinese human rights advocates and journalists. It said the attacks appeared to come from China."

Well, the Chinese government *are* bad guys and pretty much everything they do is so much more blatantly egregious than what other governments do that what other governments do gets ignored because the Chinese government's antics steal the spotlight. Fix that and we can start ogling other governments' poor behaviour (of which there is certainly plenty!).
