It's unfortunate that our patriotic American hackers aren't as globally aware as their counterpart in China. It seems that Taiwan (aka the Republic of China as opposed to the communist People's Republic of China) has been the innocent victim in the hacker showdown between the US and China. By last count over 300 Taiwanese websites have been attacked because our hackers thought they were "China".

Interesting to see how advanced our hacker's skills are and how lacking their global awareness is

yeah, it's unfortunate that these "smart" hackers don't know the difference between Taiwan and China... probably usually lock themselves in a basement somewhere with no TV. But they could atleast hit up cnn.com you know to figure it out...
