The Chinese Government has denied any involvement in the hacking of hundreds of Gmail accounts. Google, however, says it traced the hackers back to somewhere in China. Jeremy Goldkorn, who works for Danwei, a site that monitors the media in China, joined The Takeaway to talk about information warfare and the future of cyber warfare from China.
