You guys are gullible as shit if you think this is real. This is yet another bullshit scare tactic by the Chinese government. Also these articles are hardly even sourced and are just copypasted from other news sites to farm clicks.
Yeah this does smell fishy. The Chinese government is quick to manipulate and lie and I doubt they would want to get people not to use a service they can break.
Ahh, that makes sense. I was wondering, "Why the hell are they announcing their zero day to the Internet?"
