A long, rambling cold-war type of article with all the boogeymen you'd expect: Russia, China, and other nations.

And of course, it's a bit strange that critical resources are accessible from outside their internal networks, but I suppose there is a set of rather compelling reasons for it.

I'd be surprised if all the nations with sufficient resources didn't have similar access networks setup. That includes the US. It's a distracting waste of time and resources for all involved - billions of dollars and plenty of scare.
