US Cyber Command boss says China's spooky cyber-skills trail America's
The boss of US Cyber Command has opined that China's cyber and surveillance capabilities are not ahead of, or even comparable to, to those of the United States.
"There is a scope-scale sophistication that we ascribe to what China is doing today. Are they getting better? Yes," the commander of US Cyber Command, general Paul Nakasone,Nakasone referred to China as a"pacing challenge" for the US. "It is the generational challenge that we will address, our children will address, our grandchildren are going to address. We see it across the major lines of national power. And they're diplomatic, information, military, and economic," explained Nakasone."It's different than adversaries that I've seen in my three decades-plus of service in the Army."
The general, who as is customary simultaneously serves at Cyber Command and as director of the National Security Agency, said he was both confident and vigilant that classified networks had not been infiltrated by Beijing. However, he did express concern that China seeks positions in critical infrastructure – of the United States, its allies, and territories – for future purposes.
Nakasone stopped short of accusing China of aiming to facilitate malevolent actions, instead opining"If you're in our critical infrastructure it's not to collect intelligence."
