Spare me the outrage.

China is outraged that the U.S. rendered a report on the Chinese military which exposed their investments in 'disruptive technologies' (e.g., strategic nuclear forces, space weapons, internet warfare).

According to the BBC:

A foreign ministry spokesman called it a "gross distortion of the facts", and urged an end to "Cold War thinking".

Really? Chinese hackers regularly attack U.S. government and defense network. China has developed innovative radar systems to track low-flying targets (aircraft or cruise missiles). China is expanding its nuclear and space capabilities. China's military budget has doubled in the last decade, in order to transform its massive peasant army into a modern military force.

China doth protest too much, methinks.
