Should The U.S. And China Have A Cyber Detente?

U.S. China Cyber Détente -- Defense Tech

You would have to have been totally isolated from the Internet to have missed all the coverage about cyber attacks on U.S. targets that have been attributed to China.

My Comment: On the poll I voted yes, but I am confident in saying that the Chinese will not be interested. Reason .... the Chinese have nothing to gain by having a cyber detente with the U.S., the cost benefit for them is just not there. The Chinese do not have the military capabilities of the U.S. .... their advantages lie in other areas, one of them being in the cyber realm. Why give up something that is to them a tactical advantage.

Of course .... all of this would be the case if the Chinese do have an advantage in cyber capabilities, a point of view that is (admittedly) open for debate.
