Charles Rangel (D-NY), the top Democrat on the trade subcommittee, last week charged that the Chinese government is violating the intellectual property protection rules of the World Trade Organization by carrying out acts of economic espionage through cyberspace against U.S. companies. This development is another indication of how Congress is increasingly engaging on the cyber issue (see related stories).
