Chinese hackers have breached the US government twice in less than a
year:

"The US government suspects that Chinese hackers have hacked into the Office of
Personnel Management, which operates as the human resources arm of the federal
government, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal and the Washington
Post.

The records of about 4 million current and former federal employees were
compromised.

According to the Washington Post, the hackers obtained information about
"employees' job assignments, performance ratings and training," but not sensitive
information related to background checks or security clearances."

Giant hack may be first step in pursuit of bigger US secrets:

"The government is worried that hackers who raided more than 4 million federal
employment files will use their loot to pry into more-secure computers and
plunder secrets about the U.S. military, economic strategy or foreign relations.

Federal officials said Friday the cyberattack appeared to have originated in China,
but they didn't point fingers directly at the Chinese government. The Chinese said
any such accusation would be "irresponsible and unscientific.""

'We should be very clear: China is at virtual war with the United States':

"China's offensive cyber capabilities have consistently surprised the United States
in terms of breadth and sophistication of attacks.

"The latest attacks revealed yesterday show millions of existing and former US
government employees with their private data now in the hands of the Chinese
state."

Go Ahead, China—Copy Our Crappiest Warplane:

"Desperate to project power in the South China Sea, Beijing is working on a
hovering “jump jet” that looks a lot like the Pentagon’s F-35B. But this bit of
espionage will cost them."

Avoiding Or At Least Hiding The Apocalypse:

"Internet photos (of ship mockups for training) and chatter indicate that China is
preparing to begin construction of a new (Type 055) 12,000 ton cruiser class ship
with over a hundred VLS tubes and much else besides. This would be the largest
surface combat ship China has ever built. Carriers, which are much larger, are
also planned."
