In his own mind, the Most Equal Comrade is a visionary ushering a new era of international harmony; to post-America's adversaries an enemies, he's a patsy and a joke

The Chinese assured me, honest:

President Obama said he got the word of Chinese President Xi Jinping that the People’s Republic will stop hacking the U.S., but members of Congress warned those could just be hollow promises.

“I raised once again our very serious concerns about growing cyber-threats to American companies and American citizens. I indicated that it has to stop,” Obama said in a press conference with Xi today. “The United States government does not engage in cyber economic espionage for commercial gain. And today, I can announce that our two countries have reached a common understanding on the way forward.”

“We’ve agreed that neither the U.S. or the Chinese government will conduct or knowingly support cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property, including trade secrets or other confidential business information for commercial advantage,” he said. “In addition, we’ll work together, and with other nations, to promote international rules of the road for appropriate conduct in cyberspace.”

"It has to stop" - or what?

And "working together . . . to promote international rules of the road for appropriate conduct in cyberspace": In what universe is that a sane idea?
