The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission released its annual report on Nov. 17, which advises Congress on a range of developments related to U.S.-China relations. The document covers economics and trade, military and security, foreign policy, energy and environment, and cybersecurity, among other topics. One of the chief reasons the report has become so highly anticipated in the weeks before its release is its coverage of an incident that occurred April 8 in which a large mass of international Internet traffic was rerouted through Chinese servers for about 16 minutes (18 minutes according to the commission's report), including traffic from the United States, Canada, South Korea, Australia and many other countries. On that day, China Telecom Corp. Ltd., intentionally or not, broadcast false information suggesting that its routes would be faster than other routes.
