Is this legal speak for saying, "They're using our backdoors without our permission."?

#4Whenever I see these news & FBI releases about Chinese state-sponsored hackers breaching systems in America, I wonder whether the same thing happens over there: American malware and hacker groups attacking & laying landmines in China's internet infrastructure, although the Chinese may not publicize these exploits because their system opts to maintain an air of invincibility.

#5I will be interested to see if the Trump administration will target their response at any specific companies or entities related to telecommunications (beyond existing measures) or just focus on existing tariffs and export controls.
I also wonder if information about similar attacks from US allies will be detailed in the coming days, or if the exploits were just limited to our specific back doors (as has been reported in the previous weeks).
China will have convenient amnesia during their next communications lamenting the West’s unprovoked aggression.

China has the Great Firewall segregating most international access from the country's network. Additionally, China (moreso than most) has a motivation to onshore as much of their software and hardware manufacturing to bolster their own industry.
It's possible that isolated attacks could pop off now and again, but hacking to-and-from China is strictly state controlled.

I like the tacit implication that all 335 million-odd Americans might be subject to requests pursuant to court orders, but none of us can ever really know for sure since those records might be sealed, expunged, vacated or classified.
It's like we're on the $500,000 question and my Phone-a-Friend still has Snowden on the line.

Their censorship infrastructure isn't security. If anything, it's another thing to hack.
