Wait, you are sourcing a map created 8 years ago, that shows Global Voice
Traffic, not internet traffic, as a reason China Couldn't have the same cyber
espionage capabilities? *original source of map:
http://www.telegeography.com/telecom-resources/map-gallery/global-voice-traffic-
map-2005/index.html
A more relevant map would be here:
http://www.telegeography.com/telecom-resources/map-gallery/global-internet-map-2
012/index.html which is an attempt at an internet map from 2012. The data shown
seems to indicate that China does have significantly less traffic going to it,
as your map indicated. However without reason to believe that their methodology
is sufficient when talking about secretive spying data that is likely coming
from hacked backbone servers this really isn't meaningful.
Even if their methodology is complete enough for such cases, all that means is
China doesn't have the same number of hacked backbone servers around the world
outside of china copying all traffic to them that the NSA does. This does in no
way support that China wouldn't love to have US government (or otherwise)
servers backdoored to allow them access. It doesn't say they don't have such
servers backdoored, such backdoors would produce very little traffic unless they
were actively copying all through traffic. It also speaks very little about
their technical capabilities, just about how much the average citizen has access
to, and wants to access, foreign internet services. These services are both
censored, and in the wrong language. So this isn't really a large surprise.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
