Combined, they created a platform for extremely ignorant and naive people to sip cups of coffee while uploading our national infrastructure and data to run on all that free software all over the planet. Yeah, they got theirs --now hackers are pouring through their websites and databases, Russia has ultrasonic weapons (who needs "StarTrek transporters" to deliver surprises) and China's Navy is the largest (sorry Taiwan!)
Don't even get me started about China's Space deployments --to orbit, the dark side of the moon and beyond. Maybe they can increase their efficiency using Vint Cerf's new suite of protocols.
