I actually read the mandiant report because I'm cool like that(most of it, at least). China is just mad 3 of their hackers were found out. http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/02/chinese-hackers-pwned-mandiant-cyber-attack-new-york-times

Not "we weren't hacking you." Not "rogue elements in our government were hacking you." Just "Hey, that report is flawed!"
