Is it the Right Decision to "TRUST" China's Integrity?

Sure to the same degree we can trust the Iranians.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, no way in hell, not in a million years... should I continue? How much of their annual defense budget is actually spent on cyber attack? And has the world forgotten, the US is China's primary enemy??? Cyber theft is one of their specialties - have you seen their reverse engineering capabilities? China will steal anything from anyone and reverse engineer it to make it better. How much easier will it be to just take the intelligence off of it?

No. As a nation we would be stupid to trust anyone. Everyone spies on everyone even allies.

No we can not trust China not to engage in cybertheft of trade secrets and intellectual property SPC Andrew Griffin.
They have demonstrated time again and again that they are untrustworthy in terms of economic espionage.
[update] Until the Spratly Island dispute is resolved to international satisfaction especially for those nations in the region I expect we will be dealing with China aggressively attempting to penetrate our defenses and cyber-security on many fronts.

We can't trust Americans not to. Seriously, between music downloads, corporate espionage etc....

But you should never "trust" any organization, whether it be corporation, assembly, or government. Organizations exist to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose can change over time, and "we" are merely an obstacle in the way, or a means of profit.

SPC Andrew Griffin Of course not. We won't do anything significant about it in retaliation. So why would they stop? It's like storing your meat outside in winter where a bear can get it. He eats it, you put more. Repeat. Over and over. Why on earth would that bear EVER stop coming to eat your meat? You keep putting it there and aren't doing anything to stop him.

This is also why China owns some shiny new islands that are basically stolen from their neighbors. No one's going to do anything.

They are savvy and willing to steal anything from any networks.

You never trust a potential enemy. They will do anything and everything to undermine you.

No, until there a costs for their cyber hacks they will continue to do it. In fact a day after their President promised to stop another massive hack of an American company was traced to China.
