The U.S. Justice Department announced on Monday that a grand jury had indicted five Chinese nationals for hacking. Yes, the U.S. government which has used the NSA to collect millions of private phone calls and emails from not only their own citizens, but those of its allies and world leaders like Angela Merkel whose mobile phone was hacked by the NSA.
Its all good, because it was the USA doing the spying and not those Communist Chinese.

The United States has indicted five Chinese military officials with cyber espionage charges for allegedly hacking into US companies to gain trade secrets, the Justice Department has said, publicly accusing China of cyber spying for the first time.
The department said on Monday that the hackers targeted US companies in the nuclear power, metals and solar products industries to steal information useful to competitors in China. The charges are the first-of-its-kind against state actors by the US.
China refuted the accusation, saying they were "made up," Reuters news agency reported. China's Foreign Ministry said that it had already protested against the indictment and urged the US to "immediately rectify mistake".
The ministry added that "so-called prosecution" would damage China-US relations and mutual trust, Reuters reported.
US Attorney-General Eric Holder said that the companies targeted are Alcoa World Alumina, Westinghouse Electric Company, Allegheny Technologies, US Steel Corporation, United Steelworkers Union, and SolarWorld.
