Are we at cyber war with China?

All major powers constantly jockey and angle and wrestle, normally this is done in the shadows, espionage, sabotage, economic games, and now cyber. Our power struggles with other powers always exist on a continual spectrum, rather than a binary at war or at peace.

Yes, and we have been for some time now. This latest data breach was the most extensive that I am aware of, but there have been other attempts to hack the grid and China has shot down satellites - which would have a devastating effect in war time communications and navigation.

Yes, and we are losing this badly.....the government needs to look at our best and brightest within the cyber community and hire some of these individuals that have such fantastic computer skills (hackers) and started "beating the crap" out of them. We also need to be far less concerned with offending these asshats and publish the who's and what's behind these attacks; similar to the manner in which we outed the Soviets whenever we detected/caught one of their intelligence assets during the Cold War.
