Obama to corner Xi on cyberattacks

When Barack Obama and Xi Jinping meet next week in California, the US president will press China’s leader on his country’s alleged cyberhacking campaign, Financial Times reported. According to a confidential report prepared for the Pentagon, the design of more than 30 weapons systems have been “compromised” by Chinese hackers. Among the list of top-secret weapons is the US Navy’s advanced littoral combat ship and missile batteries – both intended to respond to China’s growing military capabilities. A spokesperson for the Pentagon was quoted as denying that cyber intrusions have compromised the capabilities or technical edge of the US military.
