US WON'T CONFIRM REPORTS OF CHINESE HACKING

Sure...Keep buying their cheap plastic goods and sending them money for quake relief. They mean you no harm.

Government officials are not confirming a report that Chinese officials may have secretly copied the contents of a government laptop computer during a December visit to China by Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.

The Associated Press said an investigation into the suspected incident also involved whether China used the information to try to hack into Commerce computers.

The AP cited officials and industry experts as sources for the story, which said the surreptitious copying is believed to have occurred when a laptop belonging to someone in the U.S. trade delegation was left unattended.

The FBI does not confirm or deny investigations, but a government official said the agency is not conducting one.

Department of Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said, "It's unclear to me who the AP is citing as conducting an investigation. The DHS at this time is not undertaking an investigation. There is nothing to substantiate an actual compromise at this time."
They pour pee pee in your Coke.
