"The United States and China have agreed to hold regular, high-level talks on how to set standards of behaviour for cybersecurity and commercial espionage, the first diplomatic effort to defuse the tensions over what the United States says is a daily barrage of computer break-ins and theft of corporate and government secrets."
In March 2012, I blogged an entry titled "Mad About Cyber-Security" (linked), in which I commented:
"The U.S. and China must agree to certain behaviors, and then project adherence to those behaviors...All of today's inflammatory cyber-rhetoric and cyber-political flailing about is serving no-one’s true cyber-interests. Globalization is real. The ICT industry is global. Our digital economies are increasingly interdependent. Cyber-threats do not respect - or even recognize - national borders (e.g. Stuxnet did some collateral damage outside Iran). Today's superpowers must acknowledge that their bilateral (and mutual multilateral) tension and conflict are not going away and, as such, should at the very least strive to manage common vulnerabilities in such a manner that both sides can continue to maintain their respective national AND economic securities, to their mutual benefit."
Well?
