China: May 1, 2001

The American EP-3 inspection team arrived at the airfield containing the damaged EP-3.  Meanwhile, the US Army has officially announced that it will not wear any black berets made in China. The promised web attack by Chinese hackers has begun. Hack attacks traced back to China have hit various US government web sites. Mostly low level stuff. In April, the battle was already under way, with 350 Chinese web sites and 37 American ones hit. American cyberwar experts are watching all this with great interest. The Chinese action is not state sponsored, but it is being tolerated by the Chinese government. The Chinese volunteers may get carried away and use some of China's wartime reserve of cyberwar tactics and tools.
