NSA
Yes, I was planning to do a cartoon regarding NSA then someone told me that NSA stands for No Such Agency so I stopped for now. But I just can't get the song, "I'm watching you" by Hall and Oates, out of my head. I am amazed that looking at the band, they were eerily looking like federal agents, or were Hall and Oats really NSA agents?

Snowden’s U.S. hacking claim captures Chinese attention
Snowden’s latest comments, from an interview posted late Wednesday on the Web site of the South China Morning Post, were a hot topic on Sina Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, and they landed on the front page of the Global Times, a state-run tabloid with a populist bent.

So, there are hackers from both countries just like The Spy vs Spy.
Spy vs. Spy is a wordless comic strip that debuted in Mad magazine #60, dated January 1961, and was originally published by EC Comics. It was originally published in black-and-white. The strip was created by Antonio Prohías.
Xi’s wife Peng Liyuan accompanied him on his visit, but Michelle Obama was absent and remained in Washington with her daughters, who are finishing the school year this week, according to New York Times.While Michelle’s decision might be seen as rude, some thought Michelle was doing a good job as a mother. Yup, our solute to a Tiger Mom, MEOW!
After the meeting, Xi rushed back home and was spotted window shopping for a winter coat for his wife.
NAW, actually Xi was greeting the Chinese astronauts before the successful launching of Shenzhou-10.
