More now on a shocking report linking the Chinese Government with a wave of hacking attacks against US companies US security firm -- and says of the attacks originated.
From this very building in Shanghai the headquarters by the way.
Of a unit of the People's Liberation Army Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano here with his take on this just for the Chinese have been doing this since.
Computers were invented.
Well you know one of the reasons we have a federal government is to provide for the common defense.
-- this -- war in the traditional sense that it uses violence of and it's government against government but it is a foreign government.
Against corporations and individuals in the United States being assaulted in a way that.
We probably can't defend ourselves of this happen any of the three of us or anybody watching us or Fox News of the New York Times.
One would think and excuse me this is what we have a government to protect us against.
So what can the government -- They can -- bomb this building.
-- they retaliate in light care a measure.
Now but I do know that the federal government should be doing something.
And they don't appear to be doing anything.
Because you're always it and we've been -- this year and always behind the hacker you're always behind Naples fires the -- concern right there are always one step ahead -- so if we are.
Just going to be reactive and not proactive we're never gonna catch them.
But what what the pro active -- -- -- do the same thing to them I mean that wouldn't be right what's the -- -- already -- for a we don't I don't know I don't know what the you know -- sixteen that we know of American federal government intelligence agencies in -- why that we don't know -- and I don't know what they're doing I I think that the tit for -- is not going to work.
I think that something has to be done to and with the Chinese Government to get this stop its justice unfair.
For our intelligence agencies to do to Chinese businesspeople.
What their military has done to American business -- this has to be government to government now that they don't they don't believe in freedom of the Internet.
I don't think the Obama administration believes in freedom of the Internet even though the Internet as we haven't the United States today.
Is that -- -- market -- of freedom you know it's unregulated.
Untaxed -- controlled by the government.
I hope it stays that way.
But we do need the protection of the government so that foreign governments can't -- -- which is apparently what's happens so what do -- tariffs mean.
It it almost seems like there's no way to -- these guys that.
Probably not I think the the mentality of the Chinese military no one would guess is that this is a good thing that they can stop us.
And our tracks tariffs you know Tracy create to -- wars and and make prices.
More expensive for everybody -- -- unemployment.
To go up and inflation to kick and we know that.
From the great the -- saying if the price of the freedom we enjoy on the Internet is the fact that we're leaving ourselves wide open to these kinds of attack while also saying the federal government should do something and I don't know -- something they can do technologically.
Or diplomatically.
But they need to do something.
President spoke to the country at 10:45 this morning -- -- anything about this right yeah.
-- -- security is part of the constitution -- must defend us.
Wears it well they're supposed to to provide for the common defense that doesn't mean just defense against missiles right bullish so that what's what was contemplated -- that phrase was written.
Means defense against cyber war which today can be is almost as painful and justice disabling as.
Bullets and and missiles and probably are disasters don't -- thank you some welcoming here appreciate it -- that's scary stuff.
