I suspect most of them get past the Great Firewall because they're working for the government..

That was my exact feeling too. The Chinese government is a tricky one.

Nah, they're communist.
They've broken into our power grid and the like a couple times this past year or so.
Gee, so much for Cybersecurity, thank you Bush and Obama.
Great, old white guy and young black guy, and they both ignore something like that.
Idiots, the both of them.

Edit: Any thoughts on North Korea's new test?
the one that might have actually worked?
Maybe.
lol.

China are a capitalist dictatorship. They're very far from communist.

North Korea have neither the missile technology nor the nuke miniaturisation technology to be capable of being an actual nuclear threat. I'm rather more worried about the *thousands* of artillery pieces they have pointed at the capital of South Korea, and the insane fortification they have along their entire border, land and sea. Attacking them directly would lead to insane casualties and them levelling Seoul. They can't start anything either, of course, or the country will collapse entirely. Stalemate.

Aren't they violating some kind of treaty?

Probably, but it would take ages for the UN to find the file. =P

North Korea are in clear violation of a number of UN resolutions, deals over supplied aid, etc etc. They do that sort of thing all the time though. They're not actually a greater threat now than they were previously - they still can't get a nuke onto a missile, and the missiles are still too unreliable. The threat they pose is mostly related to their ability to level Seoul with conventional weaponry.

Why do they even bother having these resolutions if no countries follow them, anyway?

So they can look like they're doing something. There'd be uproar if they didn't - people everywhere bitching about how they're not doing anything. So they make symbolic resolutions that don't actually do anything beyond an official statement that NK's being a naughty child..

How slanted were the articles? I can't see Wikipedia bashing the CoS too noticeably.
I can see them using dial-up or public library computers...

I didn't think they were that intelligent.
I still think it's stupid.

I think they'd be more likely to land or roll upright, since the bottom's usually the heaviest. But you never know...
