A bit of British news.

Nicholas Watt reported for The Guardian that “Britain is to join forces with India to counter the growing cyberthreat from China and criminal gangs across the world.  . . .”  The article went on to hint at a cabinet split over confronting China on its pervasive cyberexploitation.  Watt explained that “William Hague and Nick Clegg believe that Britain needs to be prepared to stand up to China” whereas “[PM] Cameron and George Osborne were reportedly arguing in favour of a more conciliatory approach as the Treasury tries to persuade Chinese sovereign wealth funds to invest in Britain.”
