Chinese ‘Hackers’ Is a Misnomer. They’re Spies.

In a speech on Monday at the Asia Society in New York, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon addressed Chinese cyber intrusions into U.S. government and business network infrastructures. In moving cybersecurity “to the forefront of our agenda,” Mr. Donilon noted that he wasn’t referring to “ordinary cybercrime or hacking.” He called on Beijing to recognize the importance of cyber issues, take “serious steps” to investigate Chinese cyber intrusions, and engage in a “constructive dialogue” to define “acceptable norms of behavior in cyberspace.”
