From where I sit, I want to only say this: the news here isn't that the Chinese government is spying on Skype calls. Governments - of all stripes are spying on web content of all types, and all internet companies - from ISPs to search engines to social network services to Skype - are bending over backward to help them. No, the news is we're supposed to get all upset when the Chinese do it and ignore the cases where our own governments do it. Me, I think we should observe the lesson about the nature of the relation between governments and large corporations generally. It's very close, and the favours work both ways. More from the BBC.
