113. Swim with the fish Some readers may construe our characterization of most Chinese spies being ethnic Chinese as being “racist.” We do understand the discomfort some people may feel about this discussion—especially Chinese–Americans. However, facts are facts; and we want make it very clear that we have no beef with the Chinese people. After all, it is precisely the “Chinese people,” whether in countries like Taiwan and Singapore or even at home in Shenzhen, who are the biggest victims of China’s paranoid espionage apparatus. In fact, one of the author’s attempts to meet with a group of dissidents in that city ended with Chinese security forces hustling our greeting party away at the airport and threatening them not to “meet with the American writer,” based on information obviously gleaned from intercepting our email and phone conversations. So let’s be both frank and clear here: This discussion of Chinese espionage is not about race. It’s about one country recruiting from within its own citizenry and major ethnic group and aggressively spying on themselves and the rest of the world.

143 In fact, such routing errors typically result in many obvious failures because the routes don’t complete properly or because the offending networks are overloaded by the unexpected traffic they accidentally ingest. In this case, the misconfigured routers just happened to have enough spare capacity on hand to take on 15% of the entire world’s data transfers for the 18-minute gap.

144 As further evidence of government complicity—and as every frustrated Chinese computer user knows—a great deal of traffic to and from sites outside of China is blocked by the paranoid Dragon’s Great Firewall. Yet in this case non-censored Western traffic went into and then out of the Chinese network as though a path had been laid for it in advance.
