This doesn't even make any sense. Same with power plants around the country, why is it even possible that anyone can hack into them, they should not be linked at all through any sort of net. We are creating a dangerous situation here, leaving everyone open to cyber attack when we do not need to be. Stupidity at high levels I guess or possibly a deliberate intent.

The Chinese seem to be interested in stealing information about design and manufacturing so they can copycat their own technology. It doesn't appear they are thinking of killing any of their customers, just increasing their customer base
