It has to be, given our standard of living and associated labor costs
relative to the Chinese. What they have is many more warm bodies. Lots
of conscripted bureaucrat-slaves to dedicate to any task deemed
important to the single-minded State. And lots of conscripted students
in State-sponsored educational institutions to carry out whatever cyber
warfare research and "Testing" the State deems beneficial to Itself.
You can buy lots of talent and loyalty - and results - with a bayonet.
Pay is not necessarily the first consideration in all parts of the world.
Imagine if they get their hands on a focus-virus.
Personally, I'm more afraid of the TSA. A bunch of high school dropouts
who's job applications got turned down by Burger King, with virtually
unlimited and unaccountable authority, and probably lots of reasons to
be resentful of people who can actually still afford to fly.
TSA really stands for "Terrorism Straight Ahead".
