US points finger at China

Yet again, the United States has decided to wag their finger at another country. This time, China is the target as Hillary Clinton demanded that China investigate claims by Google that e-mail accounts belonging to human rights activists had been targeted by hackers. China's response, in part, attested that while they value freedom of information via the Internet, they do have restrictions. that are all written into law and are therefore legal. China points out that all of their Internet administration restrictions are written into law and therefore legal; making them a simple matter of cultural difference.
Are some countries most likely targeting those that would do harm against them? Yes, including the United States. Should we then, be telling another country what their 'rules' around Internet administration should be? No, not in my opinion. As a country, we would not take kindly to another country trying to tell us the same and I think we could use a bit more tact in the future.
As much as the goal of the United States is lofty - to provide all human beings with as much freedom of information and thought exchange as possible, we should be careful with our approach.
