Hundreds of Chinese websites have been hacked by people claiming to be the local branch of the hacktivist group Anonymous. The stated final goal of the attacks is to start a revolt against the government.

The number of sites attacked may be as high as 500. They include government, company and general-purpose pages.

In at least one case the hacking resulted in release of 548 phone numbers and 860 email addresses, apparently belonging to Chinese officials.

The people behind the attacks say their effort is aimed at undermining the Chinese government, which they accuse of suppressing freedoms and say should be overthrown by a popular revolt.

“In the defacings and leaks on this day, we demonstrate our revolt against the Chinese system. It has to stop! We aren’t asking you for nothing, just saying ‘protest, revolt, be the free person you always wanted to be!’” one of the anonymous comments on the Pastebin website rallied.

The cyber offensive kicked off in late March with the creation of as an Anonymous China Twitter account, endorsed by YourAnonNews. The new group already has almost 2,000 followers on Twitter.

China maintains tight control over the national segment of the internet. The government suppresses online material deemed harmful to public order. Those range from any references to separatist movements in Tibet to the strangest rumors that often spread like wildfire across China’s microblogging services.

The article in RT on the 30-03-2012 "FBI - we are losing to the hackers" really tells of the USA's real agenda.

By engaging a country like China into a "hacking war" it's also an opportunity for the USA to introduce the internet censor and introduce internet laws and prosecutions of those who fail to act in accordance with those laws.

China does not attack other countries, though the USA goes about its evil ways on a daily basis. The fact that the CIA often reuse the same hijacking techniques to either dilute a strong case against or cast suspicion onto an innocent party is the obvious clue to where the attack actually came from.

I don't see how China can be deemed a threat to Anonymous but I see the USA as clearly its biggest threat. Like 911, you must ask yourself, "who has most to gain?"

heres a serious question wrote in #16
why doesnt anonymous go after the rothchilds and rockefellers ? why ???? 
I think its because they don't use computers... as any true Zionist would get other people to do their dirty work for them (hence the term "slave to the money").
What I'd be asking is why there aren't any bombs being pointed at their residencies... but they would also have homes in every country on the planet... and there is the fact that there are many Rothschilds scattered around the globe and the Rockefeller dynasty must also have a batten that will be passed down.
