Chinese hackers most recently accessed hundreds of Google email accounts including senior U.S. Government officials
Lobel 11(HANNAH LOBEL, J.D. Candidate, The University of Texas School of Law, 2012, Cyber War Inc.: The Law of War Implications of the Private Sector’s Role in Cyber Conflict, TEXAS INTERNATIONAL LAW JOURNAL, Volume 47, Issue 3, http://www.tilj.org/content/journal/47/num3/Lobel617.pdf)
On June 1, 2011, Google Inc., the world’s leading search engine and a major email services provider, announced on its blog that hackers in Jinan, China, had accessed the personal email accounts of “hundreds of users including, among others, senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, officials in several Asian countries (predominantly South Korea), military personnel and journalists.”1 The hack was a spear-phishing campaign, meaning it targeted specific individuals with carefully crafted emails deployed to trick users into disclosing personal information like email account passwords,2 and it had been noticed as early as February by an independent blogger who helped tip off Google.3¶ The following day Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Google’s allegation “very serious” and announced an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.4 Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei deemed Google’s claim “a complete fabrication out of ulterior motives.”5 An editorial in the Global Times, a Chinese nationalist newspaper, elaborated, calling Google “snotty-nosed” and disgruntled about its poor market position in China.6¶ The incident was the second major hack that Google had traced back to China. In January 2010, the company announced that a “cyber attack” originating from China had tried to steal the company’s intellectual property and had targeted the email accounts of Chinese human rights advocates.7 In response, Google reversed its controversial decision to permit China to censor its search results,8 thus dooming the company’s market aspirations in the country. Google stressed that it was not the only company that had been targeted, but felt compelled to publicize the attack because of the “security and human rights implications” and the “global debate about freedom of speech.”9 A month later, the Washington Post reported that Google was seeking help from the National Security Agency to help bolster its defenses against future attacks.10¶
The Google affair happened when U.S. China relations were already deteriorating driving the two powers into a “cold war” with tensions hinging on Rhetoric
Communication currents 11(Cyber-Warfare, Google, and U.S-Chinese Communication in an Age of Globalization, Volume 6, Issue 6 - December 2011, https://www.natcom.org/CommCurrentsArticle.aspx?id=1963)

China Threat is an imagined construction of American design and more scholarly attention is needed for relations to be understood
Turner 13 (Oliver Turner is a Research Associate at the Brooks World Poverty Institute at the University of Manchester. He is the author of American Images of China: Identity, Power, Policy (Routledge, forthcoming) “‘Threatening’ China and US security: the international politics of identity,” Review of International Studies, FirstView Articles, pp 1-22, Cambridge University Press 2013)

Rhetoric choices will shape the U.S.- China relations in the age of cyber-warefare
Communication currents 11(Cyber-Warfare, Google, and U.S-Chinese Communication in an Age of Globalization, Volume 6, Issue 6 - December 2011, https://www.natcom.org/CommCurrentsArticle.aspx?id=1963)
This new-found sense of partnership was based largely on the fact that China had agreed to a series of deals with U.S. firms reportedly valued at $45 billion. For the recession-ravaged U.S., it appears that cyber-attacks and human rights violations will be forgiven as long as the U.S. can access China’s turbo-charged market. We may therefore be witnessing the production of a dual strategy, where hostile rhetoric is deployed for populist political purposes at home, in both the U.S. and China, while the interests of market-driven realpolitik drive a more measured rhetoric at the highest levels of government. The fourth major strand of argumentation about U.S.-Chinese relations is driven by each nation’s military contractors, who are committed to creating a climate of fear regarding the other nation’s cyber-warfare capabilities and intentions. Whether produced by the CCP’s military brass or U.S. outfits such as the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission—which works directly with weapons manufacturing giant, Northrop Grumman—this fear-mongering and weapons-system-procuring rhetoric amounts to what I call warhawk hysteria. For an example, see Bryan Krekel, George Bakos, and Christopher Barnett, Capability of the People’s Republic of China to Conduct Cyber Warfare and Computer Network Exploitation.¶ The key question for anyone interested in Sino-American relations, issues of cyber-security, and the future of global markets, is how will the clash between belligerent humanitarianism and traumatized nationalism shape future political deliberations between the world’s two most powerful nations? And will those actors committed to avoiding war—of either the traditional shooting or postmodern cyber versions—be able to counter the warhawk hysteria of their respective military establishments? Moreover, given the vast power of global markets to shape political events, will the U.S.’s ongoing decline, China’s meteoric rise, and their entwined economic fates point toward a renewed discourse of prudence and partnership or accelerating hostility and competition? At the same time, will market-driven realpolitik lead the key U.S. players to backtrack on human rights claims in favor of pursuing continued economic riches? While these questions preclude simple answers, we can rest assured that our rhetorical choices will continue to shape U.S.-Chinese relations in this age of globalization and cyber-warfare.¶ 

The impact is perpetual war -- racist dichotomies create Otherization that normalizes us to violence – making war inevitable
Mendieta ‘02
(Eduardo Mendieta, 2002, “To Make Live and to Let Die – Foucault and Racism)
This is where racism intervenes, not from without, exogenously, but from within
AND
of the living, then these threat and foes are biological in nature. 

This instance of Racism like every instance of racism must be rejected or all violence will be justified
Memmi 97 (Albert, RACISM, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Paris 97, p. 163. (DRGCL/B1048)

The struggle against racism will be long, difficult, without intermission, without remission, probably never achieved. Yet for this very reason, it is a struggle to be undertaken without surcease and without concessions. One cannot be indulgent toward racism; one must not even let the monster in the house, especially not in a mask. To give it merely a foothold means to augment the bestial part in us and in other people, which is to diminish what is human. To accept the racist universe to the slightest degree is to endorse fear, injustice and violence. It is to accept the persistence of the dark history in which we still largely live. It is to agree that the outsider will always be a possible victim (and which person man is not themself himself an outsider relative to someone else?). Racism illustrates in sum, the inevitable negativity of the condition of the dominated; that is, it illuminates in a certain sense the entire human condition. The anti-racist struggle, difficult though it is, and always in question, is nevertheless one of the prologues to the ultimate passage from animality to humanity. In that sense, we cannot fail to rise to the racist challenge

Vote aff to affirm our rhetorical critique against racist policies—Rejection of racism alone is not enough the aff’s active action against racism is key to stop cooption by the oppressors  
Memmi 2000 (Albert, “Racism”, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Paris, translated by Steve Martinot pp. 156-157)
To refuse racism is to choose a certain conception of humanity; it means a
AND
that to push back racism, one must combat all forms of domination.

Thus Bill and I advocate for a rhetorical analysis of the discourse of Current U.S. Offensive Cyber operations toward China as a pre req to forming Cyber warfare regulations in the Private sector

The Forms of Discourse we use can unconsciously express forms of Hierarchies we intend to criticize investigating theses matters is important and must come first
SINGER 89 (Joseph William, Associate Professor Boston University of Law, Duke Law Journal)
Spelman argues that the categories and forms of discourse we use, the assumptions with which we approach the world, and the modes of analysis we employ have important consequences in channeling our attention in particular directions.  The paradigms we adopt affect what we see and how we interpret it. They determine, to a large extent, who we listen to and what we make of what we hear.  They determine what questions we ask and the kinds of answers we seek. Investigation into such matters is important, according to Spelman, because the seemingly neutral and innocuous assumptions with which we approach the world may blot from our view facts we ourselves would consider to be important.  In this way we may unconsciously recreate or express forms of hierarchy that we intended to criticize.  Self-reflection about such matters may enable us to ferret out the political effects of seemingly neutral premises.  We should be on the lookout for ways in which our approaches to problems of illegitimate power relations reinforce those very relations. N62 Good intentions do not immunize against the illegitimate exercise of power.  In fact, a great impetus to the exercise of power is the inability to recognize that one is exercising it; when this happens, one need not worry about whether that power is being used wisely.  One goal of philosophic inquiry, therefore is to understand concretely where privilege lodges in our thought.

The demand for policy relevance is counter-productive for scholarship – it bottlenecks our scholarship into established policy frameworks, meaning they can’t turn our case, and our mechanism solves – the role of scholars should be to interrogate assumptions about practice and theory
Bilgin 04 (Pinar Bilgin, Professor of International Relations at Bilkent University, Ankara, March 2004, “Is the ‘Orientalist’ Past the Future of Middle East Studies?,” Third World Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 2, p. 430-431)
The positions of Gray and Garnett regarding the theory/practice relationship are similar to
AND
feeding 'common sense' back into the system hiding behind a notion of 'objectivity'.  
Policymaking that excludes epistemological reflection is ethically bankrupt and prone to failure. This devastates roleplaying arguments – producing policy knowledge without epistemological reflection makes us tied state and ensures our scholarship only bottlenecks into tried-and-failed policy models. 

Smith 97(Steve Smith, Professor and Pro-Vice Chancellor in the Department of International Studies at the University of Wales- Aberystwyth, 1997, Review of International Studies, Vol. 23, p. 514-516)

Racial Exclusion lead to War, Genocide, and Annihilation
Batur 07 ~Pinar, Professor of Sociology at Vassar, The Heart of Violence: Global Racism, War, and Genocide," in Handbook of the The Sociology of Racial and Ethnic Relations, eds. Vera and Feagin 2007 ~", p. 446-7~~ http://download.springer.com/static/pdf/639/bok253A978-0-387-70845-4.pdf?auth66=1383168734_0f2394e86bc47d06128bcb895a6f30d226ext=.pdf (accessed October, 28^th 2013 BS)

Exclusion in physical space is only matched by exclusion in the imagination, and racialized exclusion has an internal logic leading to the annihilation of the excluded. Annihilation, in this sense, is not only designed to maintain the terms of racial inequality, both ideologically and physically, but is institutionalized with the vocabulary of self-protection. Even though the terms of exclusion are never complete, genocide is the definitive point in the exclusionary racial ideology, and such is the logic of the outcome of the exclusionary process, that it can conclude only in ultimate domination. War and genocide take place with compliant efficiency to serve the global racist ideology with dizzying frequency.

Thus Bill and I advocate for critical scholarly analysis of the presidential targeted killing program and the targeted killing presidential war power.

Solvency

Scholarly analysis of the United States imperialist and orientalist practices as they relate to macro level politics is key to interrogate the origins imperialism and the security agenda within the political and education realm and separate ourselves from them

Shome ’06

The importance of a postcolonial position to any scholarly practice is that it urges us

Bilgin 04 (Pinar Bilgin, Professor of International Relations at Bilkent University, Ankara, March 2004, "Is the ’Orientalist’ Past the Future of Middle East Studies?," Third World Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 2, p. 430-431)
