It is a well known fact that the Chinese have an army of hackers and I am reasonably certain they do not have our best interests at heart. No one who commits crime of this magnitude is doing it for good of humanity. That is just a fantasy. Sorry.

Assumptions. Neither wrong or right.
What we should understand is that like any
labeled individual in this world, "Hackers" are not good or bad. They do what they choose. Its that freedom that you must respect, whether or not your scared of how they use this power and knowledge.
Also, a real Hacker is not someone who is employed by larger entities to play games. A real hacker commits acts that reduce the rules and boundaries of the game.
Long live the Hacker.
peace
