It was back in May 2013 that the US government first accused the Chinese military of intruding into US computers to steal sensitive data. But in recent days this seemingly relentless attack on the Chinese military took an incredible turn for the worst with the indictment by the US Justice Department of five Chinese military officers.

Incredibly the five Chinese military officers have been "charged" with stealing data from six US companies, causing a massive escalation in tension between the two global economic superpowers.

Despite the very public propaganda campaign waged by the Barack Obama administration, in a blatant attempt at diverting attention from its own current economic woes and increasing international isolation, until now no charges had been brought against any Chinese military officials for hacking.
