Veteran national security
reporter Bill Gertz offers a piece in the Washington Times on Communist Chinese cyberespionage and other national security items.
A senior CIA analyst said
China is continuing to conduct aggressive cyberespionage operations against the
U.S., contrary to claims by security experts who say Beijing curbed
cyberattacks in the past few years.
“We know the Chinese are very
active in targeting our government, U.S. industry and those of our partners
through cyberespionage,” said Michael Collins, deputy assistant CIA director
and head of the agency’s East Asia Mission Center.
“It’s a very real, big
problem, and we need to do more about it,” Mr. Collins told a recent security
conference in Aspen, Colorado.
Mr. Collins said solving the
problem of Chinese cyberattacks will require an “all-of-government,
all-of-country approach to pushing back against it.”
The comments contradict a
number of cybersecurity experts who have said Beijing’s digital spying and
information theft decreased sharply as a result of the 2015 agreement between
President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The two leaders announced the
cyber deal with great fanfare and said both countries had agreed to curtail
cyberespionage against businesses.
