I'm happy to take the blame for the real problem. Exactly what am I taking
the blame for?

And they are much easier to stop. Just turn off the routers such that China
is its own sealed-in infrastructure. But if its China's money you are after
then you will have to build something akin to a "demarcation gateway"
between China and the rest of the world and then who cares what is done
inside China. Or you will ultimately be held liable for your custiomer's
attacks against the rest of the world...

You operators still dont seem to get that YOU are the real problem here.
