“For a nation-state, if you’re trying to seed a large analytic engine, more data is always better,” said Michael Daniel, the White House cybersecurity coordinator under President Barack Obama.
“You want to be able to use big-data analytics, and use machine learning and those kinds of new analytic capabilities that have been emerging over the last decade or so. That only becomes viable if you in fact have large amounts of data,” said Daniel, who is president of the Cyber Threat Alliance, an industry trade group.The U.S. regularly accuses China of stealing corporate trade secrets and giving them to state-affiliated companies for a leg-up in business, which goes against U.S. policy.
The 2015 breach of the Office of Personnel Management, which functions roughly as the human resources department of the U.S. government, was the most significant Chinese effort to steal American PII. In addition to the basic PII on the 21.5 million Americans who had worked for the government, China’s Ministry of State Security also acquired a trove of background checks on employees interviewed for sensitive work.

China isn't afraid of anyone in the World. They will continue to do the same thing again and again.
China sees US as enemy for decades, and calls for cyber attack on US all the time
That means these Chinese spies have thieved intellectual property and confidential information from the US for at least 5 years. It's very alarming to the US and other countries. chinazi China_is_terrorist
No privacy , No Freedom in China ~! antichinazi BoycottChina
This is alarming, China's hacking & spying just won't stop.
Last admin asleep at the wheel.
This has been happening right under our noses for six years? And no one bothered to stop those spies? Geez.
CCP has infiltrated the world for years, from stealing talent & intellectual property to stealing personal data. Its ambition is clear. The world needs to be alerted. Your cyber security is at risk. You won't enjoy a life being monitored by authoritarian China. BoycottChina
This is a serious threat! Not just IP threat and providing suspicious investment funds, CCP is also blatantly stealing personal information. CCP is really so, so ambitious in infiltration.
Wonder why the Obama admin never told the American people about this?
It's bad enough some store cashiers are nosy as heck and want your phone number or email address before ringing up your items. Ridiculous! No wonder China has it!
This is on Obama, right? I dare you to lay the blame at his door
