An American technology company, GitHub, is suffering a massive distributed denial of service attack, at the time of writing. It’s unlikely a party other than the Chinese government could sustain this attack, given the nature of the traffic injection within the country’s routing infrastructure. The Chinese government is forcing GitHub to expend its private resources in order to continue serving its customers. I call on the US government, and like-minded governments and their associates, to tell the Chinese to immediately stop this activity. IBM, who are signing massive IT deals with “Chinese partners,” should reconsider these associations.”]
