and steal classified national security information and place blame on China"",

_Marshel_,

have you got a link to the BBC news story? The English link appears to be down and my google search just brings me to your quote from the fulldisclosure mailing list (http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2008/Apr/0003.html).
