"The Chinese government has set up a lab to study Microsoft Windows
source code.  The Source Code Browsing Lab--set up in Beijing last
week--is part of an existing government-run software site, the China
Testing and Certification Center for Information Security Products,
according a report in the People's Daily newspaper. "

"The report stressed the need for checking Windows source code for
security loopholes, especially in light of recent 
attacks."

Of course, they will make every thing they find known and never keep
anything for "themselves". :-)

Cheers anyway,
Gary
