Behind the hype of 'Chinese hacker threat' (2)

(People's Daily Online)

China has always been considered as a big rival of the United States in the digital era. Network intrusion behavior can be made by others, or even by someone in the inner circle, so we should not rule out the possibility of cyber attacks directed by the US itself.

In recent years, "China threat theory" was split into different sub-projects by the west as "military threat", "energy threat", "environment threat", "spy threat" or simply "hacker threat". This may connect with some western people's worries about their profits influenced by China's economic and technological strength.

However, it is a fact that, while rendering the "China's Internet threats", the United States is also rapidly expanding its network security forces and media following recent news that the United States was going to expand its network security force by five.

As an internet power with high network technology, can the United States look at their own system, and participate in global exchanges and cooperation in the field of network security in a constructive manner, rather than continue hyping "Chinese hacker threat"?
