In the last few weeks it has reported that foreign spies have invaded government computers systems in Canada, USA, UK, Germany and NZ. The finger is being pointed at China for these incidents. Chinese hackers are amongst the best in the world if not the leaders in cyber crime.

NZ reports that hard to detect programs were installed on government computer systems and they reported that some departments were not aware their security had been breached until alarms were raised in other departments.

This is of grave concern to the world market although it has been largely underplayed in the media. Nothing goes out of China over the cyber waves that the Chinese Government doesn't sanction or is aware of. So does that mean that the breaches originated or were sanctioned by the Chinese rulers?

At the same time in the last week millions of alarming spam emails and messages have been posted worldwide, especially on myspace bulletin boards and facebook boards warning of an imminent invasion by China's Peoples army.

This could have originated as a joke in light of the spying claims by the various governments and is easily dismissed as so or it could be much more serious and actually be the forewarnings of movement upon the world market by China. It is quite alarming to open up ones inbox in the morning to find ten out of thirty emails all "dire warnings about China". (into deleted items with a yawn and off to make a cup of tea)

China is in trouble. Its economy is one of the strongest in the world today but its people are amongst the poorest, especially in rural areas. The price of world dominance in the industrial market has come at great cost to the Chinese people and the environment. Lax industrial pollution laws have resulted in many areas being highly contaminated with toxic by products of industry. Waterways are polluted, farm lands are contaminated along with forests river systems destroyed, which cause drought and flooding to the country.
