Because I'm American, and while I'm not really a fan of most of the shit they're pulling, it's still more likely to be in my interest (or less against my interests) than whatever the PLA has in mind.

Were you somehow under the impression that you need special American keyboards to type in these support logins and passwords?

Everybody is hacking these. You should not feel comfortable.

I would estimate that the US government does a lot more harm to US citizens than the Chinese government.

Why? is the PLA more widely known for hacking individuals, especially American citizens?

In general, yes.

I don't see how either of those two articles refutes the assertion that the PLA is more likely to target Americans than the NSA.

1. I was trying to display that NSA engages in the same actions as the PLA. 2. Real evidence points to real attacks on americans carried out by the NSA. The only tangible shred of information we have about the PLA comes from CNN/MSNBC/Business Insider talking points, and we all know how objective those are.
