    A Congressional probe said Chinese cargo cranes used at U.S. seaports had embedded technology that could allow Beijing to secretly control them.

    HAHAHAHAH

    ... latest Chinese hack, which compromised systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.

    Only WE get to spy on our people! No fair! You aren't allowed to know who we're spying on!

    China-backed hackers outnumber all of the FBI’s cyber personnel at least 50 to 1, according to the U.S. agency.

    The USA's education system isn't all that great and our IT infrastructure is pretty much based on extracting time/energy/money from its users instead of being a secure tool for information sharing.

    Complicating the West’s response: Unlike with autocracies such as Iran or Russia, trade with China has for decades supported Western economic growth, which in turn underpins the West’s long-term security.

    That feeling when your economic system loses the information security game to somebody else on on the world stage due to the decisions influenced by your economic system... chef's kiss
