Re: Hmm
China also cares much more about saving face. If reports of US->CN hacks came out it would embarrass them and require them to escalate.
The US *is* counterattacking, though much more quietly. But when dealing with feisty opponents like China you have to be willing to look a bit stupid.
Any US-positive PR of this nature would have quite serious blowback, and this time not from a decentralized organization but a major state actor.
