U.S. and China establish cyber working group with Cold War-esque 'hotline'
http://www.dailydot.com/politics/us-china-cybercrime-working-group-cyber-norms/
President Barack Obama announced Friday that the United
States and China have agreed to establish a new working group
for combating cybercrime, potentially paving the way for more
extensive cooperation between two countries locked in a fierce
and costly digital rivalry. The working group, composed of
senior law-enforcement and intelligence officials from both
nations, will evaluate how the two major powers respond to each
other's requests for assistance fighting "malicious cyber
activity," the White House said in a statement. The group will
hold its first meeting before the end of the year, with
subsequent meetings occurring twice per year.

The technical term for this is "a hypocritical joke" -- from both sides!
