' USCC Releases Report on Chinese Capabilities for Cyber Operations and Cyber Espionage

“It's getting harder and harder for China's leaders to claim ignorance and innocence as to the massive electronic reconnaissance and cyber intrusions activities directed by Chinese interests at the U.S. government and our private sector.” Those were the words of Michael Wessel, Commissioner of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission in a report prepared by Northrop Grumman for the Commission and released today.

The report, entitled, “Occupying the Information High Ground: Chinese Capabilities for Computer Network Operations and Cyber Espionage”, details how China is advancing its cyber attack and exploitation capabilities, and examines the potential risks associated with such cyber-capabilities to U.S. national security and economic interests.

“The United States suffers from continual cyber operations sanctioned or tolerated by the Chinese government," said Commission Chairman Dennis Shea. "Our nation's national and economic security are threatened, and as the Chinese government funds research to improve its advanced cyber capabilities these threats will continue to grow.” '
