You can't rely on Chinese need for lots of people if they
are to successfully hack into Linux. Lots of available people
is their key strategic "strength".

And you can't rely on their need for funds to finance that hacking
either - people over there are willing to work for pennies.
Especially on a job that requires only sitting and thinking.
I've been there twice, and I saw people building roads
entirely by hand (often no machines of any kind) - just to
have a job of any kind.

Never underestimate thy potential enemy - history shows that
approach too often results in disaster. Hacking into the
other side's computer systems is likely to be a key growth
"industry" for a long, long time.
