Still, I wonder what those successes can be, especially what kind of sensitive information/secret can be extremely embarrassing for Beijing if that came into the spotlight. I would like to see those in the news from time to time rather than focusing on whatever has gone wrong.

Snowden already said it all.

It just mean China have more means to justify its growing defense budget and developing deep sea-naval force. It also mean all ASEAN should quickly start a new arm race .Quickly, everyone go buy some submarines while it's hot. Come on, Vietnam already bought six, other ASEAN nations should buy at least 4-5 per country. Oh, and don't forget ships as well as anti-air weapons. I know it's not enough but at least when the worst time come, we can hold the line for a while

Hey! If someone attacks you, you fight back with the same weapons. If China steals vital information from the US, then the US are fully entitled to retaliate by stealing vital information from China, and vice-versa. Is there anything else any simpler to do than that?

Maybe China isn't worth hacking.

Meanwhile the Japs are going to blow us out of the water and interrogate survivors with traps.

Fabric of a Trade Deal: U.S. Asks Vietnam to Cut Out Chinese Textiles

I don't know what to make of this, but I think Vietnam stands to have a great business opportunity in printing and making otaku shirts, whether they be sold in Japan under Cospa or by the doujinshis in the various cons throughout SEA.

And the importation cost, with EOS, will be much lower than China - thanks to highly trackable land logistics technology.

The cost might be slightly higher, but the quality will be much better. No more runny threads!

Beijing would never let us do that and in the case Vietnam manage to do that, I'm sure there will be the great consequence follow up. To be honest, with the current situation of Vietnam ( Party's National congress is coming soon and it will bring many personnel changes ), it's kinda hard to predict things but I think US will have to do more than that to strengthen the pro-US faction in our goverment.

Extremely Ominous Warning About China From US Strategic Command Chief

"“This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warmup,” Richard said. “The big one (i.e., a conflict with China) is coming. And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested in a long time.”

Urgent rethinking of current U.S. defense strategies and deterrence capabilities is needed in order to prepare for the threat of conflict with China, Richard argued, as this would be a different caliber of conflict to Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, which began in February.

“We have to do some rapid, fundamental change(s) in the way we approach the defense of this nation (the U.S.),” he said.

Overall, Richard offered a bleak assessment of America's ability to deter China militarily in the near term:

“As I assess our level of deterrence against China, the ship is slowly sinking. It is sinking slowly, but it is sinking, as fundamentally they (China) are putting capability in the field faster than we are. As those curves keep going, it isn’t going to matter how good our (operating plan) is or how good our commanders are, or how good our horses are — we're not going to have enough of them. And that is a very near-term problem.”

China has rapidly fielded and invested in high-end military technologies and equipment over the past few years – including massive investments in its Navy, new advanced drone concepts, modernized fighter jets as well as new missiles of all types. Virtually every facet of its military has seen significant overhaul over the last decade. For some time now, U.S. defense officials have warned against the threats to regional stability and the U.S. posed by China’s accelerated weapons and technology development, which has led to the country approaching parity, if not surpassing, the U.S. in certain areas of warfare. Moreover, significant operational challenges for U.S. forces, especially in terms of logistics, would manifest themselves should a major conflict with China arise."
