A few days ago, news broke on all the major media sources that the United States Electricity Grid might have been hacked into by people outside of the country.
Now, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that China is the one responsible for this cyber break-in.
According to the reports, the spies left malicious code and programming in the grid which could potentially disrupt operations. And while some security officials are pointing the finger at China already, China has, of course, denied any knowledge of such actions.
“The intrusion doesn’t exist at all,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu at a press conference. “We hope that the concerned media will prudently deal with some groundless remarks, especially those concerning accusations against China.”
China continues to flex its new internet prowess, while Americans obsess over how Kim Kardashian gets those fabulous curves going.

China: Canadian Mooses Spreading "Lies" About China Internet Spying
A report on a China-based computer spy-ring was dismissed by a Chinese spokesperson as "lies" and symptoms of "a Cold War virus".
The Canadian group Information Warfare Monitor said in its report that a network, based mainly in China, hacked into classified documents from government and private organizations in 103 countries, including the computers of the Dalai Lama and his exiled Tibetan government.
Taking a leaf from the North Korea Public Relations handbook, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang refused to directly address the allegations and instead chose to turn the tables on these so-called "researchers".
"Some people outside China now are bent on fabricating lies about so-called Chinese computer spies." Qin said. "Their attempt to tarnish China with such lies is doomed to failure."
"You asked if we will investigate or track down these criminals. I think it is high time to track down those people who've been attacked by the (Cold War) virus I talked about." Qin added.
Anyone majoring in PR should take a semester abroad in China and study at the feet of the master, Qin Gang.
In other news, a Tibetan monk was beaten to death by police in southwest China after calling for protests. As there is no independent verification of this report, we can safely assume that this AP report is nothing more than vicious lies perpetrated by Canadian polar bears.
