Chinese Cyber Warfare on the United States

The Chinese government has reportedly conducted a cyber war on the United States, hacking into key infrastructure systems. A new Washington Post report reveals that Chinese hackers have infiltrated sensitive infrastructure sites, including a major West Coast port, a water utility system in Hawaii, and an oil and gas pipeline. The goal of these attacks is to gain access to infrastructure and supply chain systems undetected, potentially for preparing for a US-China conflict. This represents a shift in China's cyber warfare strategy, which previously focused on political and economic espionage.
