Sounds optimistic! Is there much of a startup scene in Kunming?

Not bad for the size. Less tech-oriented, lots of F&B/tourism, some arts/creative media, NGOs.

Interesting, maybe you should put an email in your about so ppl can contact you next time they're in Kunming :)

Hey Shanghai, what's the feeling on the ground about Mandiant's APT1 report from yesterday? http://www.mandiant.com/apt1

My personal opinion on it is the following:

1. What's the news here? Isn't every nation on earth doing it, or trying to do it?

2. Western nations would be ill-advised to not buckle up and take online warfare seriously. The police in particular should be way better prepared.

Overall, I think it's fun to expose it, but beyond reporting I fail to see what the value is.

Exactly. Moreover, every nation is also denying it. Some reports make fun of China because they deny something that seem obvious, but this is no China specialty.

Just another aspect of anti China sentiment, that's all.
