I don't know why you were modded down, you are just stating your opinion.<p>But your response has a basic logical misunderstanding.  Both the US and China engage in cyber warfare, but making sure that Twitter is stable during a period of heavy use by protesters is clearly NOT "warfare", it is ensuring the free flow of information.<p>More and more I am seeing the logic of those that say Chinese censorship is a violation of their WTO Free Trade obligations, as it allows them to sell their information services internationally without also allowing foreign firms to sell their information in China.  This is restraint of trade, a protectionist attitude that will harm their development in the long run.
