China's economy continues its incredible growth, but the IT infrastructure at all the new offices, research parks and other projects isn't keeping pace and is increasingly imperiled by hackers and other Internet predators, experts tell UPI's The Web. The IT problems -- hackers, viruses, worms, malware -- are so severe in China that entire enterprises are at risk, and doing e-business with companies with such shoddy Internet security could pose a threat to U.S. companies.

Just the other day I got an email from a Chinese person who was being held captive by the government.

But luckily for me, his Great Granfather's, Uncle's Cousin was a political opponent of Mao, so he has 24.75 million dollars he wants to transfer to my account for a 10% fee.
