China is the world’s “most sophisticated and prolific” hacker of foreign companies, says Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt in a book called “The New Digital Age,” which will be published in April.
The book, co-written with Jared Cohen, a former State Dept. biggie who now runs Google’s think tank, brands China as the most dangerous superpower on the globe.
Advance copies of “The New Digital Age” were obtained by the Wall Street Journal. News Corp. owns both the WSJ and The Post.
In a 2010 essay, Schmidt and Cohen anticipated uprisings in the Middle East by predicting that “governments will be caught off-guard when large numbers of their citizens, armed with virtually nothing but cell phones, take part in mini-rebellions that challenge their authority.”
Schmidt says that “the willingness of China’s government and state companies to use cyber crime gives the country an economic and political edge,” according to wsj.com.
