Beijing has rejected the allegations.<br /><br />The US has also lambasted China for suppressing the freedom of Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous Chinese territory that has a special trading relationship with America, by implementing the national security law which allows Beijing to tighten its grip over the former British colony.<br /><br />According to the NYT report, the draft legislation would be based on the same statute in the Immigration and Nationality Act used in a 2017 travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries, including Iran, Sudan and Yemen. The Act gives the president the power to temporarily block travel to the US by foreign nationals who are deemed "detrimental to the interests of the United States".<br /><br />The report, however, said President Donald Trump might also reject the travel ban proposal.<br /><br />It also pointed out some practical difficulties to impose the travel ban.<br /><br />The CPC has 92 million members. Almost three million Chinese citizens visited the United States in 2018, though the numbers have plummeted because of the coronavirus pandemic and the current ban on most travellers from China.<br /><br />The US government has no knowledge of party status for a vast majority of them. So trying to immediately identify party members to either prevent their entry or expel those already in the country would be difficult, the report said.<br /><br />SEE ALSO: <br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/google-picks-up-a-7-7-stake-in-mukesh-ambani-jio-for-33737-crore/articleshow/76977043.cms">Google picks up a 7.7% stake for ₹33,737 crore in Reliance Jio</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-glass-akash-ambani-and-isha-ambani-announce-reliances-latest-product-which-offers-holographic-video-calls/articleshow/76977640.cms">Jio Glass – Akash Ambani and Isha Ambani announce Reliance’s latest product which offers holographic video calls</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/wipro-share-price-16-increase-leads-to-surge-in-infosys-share-price-too/articleshow/76973619.cms">Wipro share price 16% increase leads to surge in Infosys share price too</a><br />

<strong><br /></strong><ul><li><strong>The slump in the global economy is likely to follow the ongoing spiral in world trade. </strong></li><li><strong>The global trade conflict will hurt emerging countries including India</strong></li><li><strong>Global trade conflicts, rising interest rates, and volatile commodity markets will likely worsen</strong></li></ul><br />It’s been nearly 10 years after the last global financial crisis that plunged the world into an economic recession. And the next one may be just two years away, predicts IHS Markit in a <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/01/what-to-expect-for-the-global-economy-in-2019">report</a> published by the World Economic Forum (WEF).<br /><br />The slump in the global economy is likely to follow the ongoing spiral in world trade. <br /><br />“One major risk in the coming year is the sharp drop-off in world trade growth, which fell from over 5% at the beginning of 2018 to nearly zero at the end. With anticipated escalation in trade conflicts, a contraction in world trade could drag down the global economy even more,” the report said. <br /><br />Additionally, US President <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword>’s trade war with China has already dented the global economy and is likely to cause more damage. <br /><br />Last week, the World Bank cut its estimate for global economic growth in 2019 to 2.9% from 3% in 2018. "Downside risks have become more acute and include the possibility of disorderly financial market movements and an escalation of trade disputes," the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/trump-goes-on-sunday-night-twitter-rant-mocking-elizabeth-warren-saying-her-campaign-announcement-would-have-been-a-smash-if-her-husband-had-dressed-in-indian-garb/articleshow/67520634.cms">report</a> said.<br /><br />The problems could be aggravated by “the combined effects of rising interest rates and surging equity and commodity market volatility mean that financial conditions worldwide are tightening,” according to the report.<br /><br />All three threats – global trade conflicts, rising interest rates, and volatile commodity markets —are likely to worsen this year. The chickens of the protectionist rhetoric – from US to Britain to China—may, in fact, come to roost only in 2020. <br /><br />“IHS Markit believes that the risks of damage from policy mistakes will rise in 2020 and beyond, as growth slows further,” the WEF report said.<br /><br /><strong>Bad news for India</strong><br /><br />The global trade conflict will hurt emerging countries the most as they depend a lot on exports for economic growth. The growth in emerging economies like Brazil, India, and Russia is expected to slow down to 4.6% in 2019.<br /><br />India will be one of the economies that will suffer from rising protectionism as well as rising interest rates in developed countries. The country’s exports have been ailing for a few years now and there seems to be no light at the end of a tunnel. <br /><br />

<br /><br />This will has severe implications for India’s fragile economy vulnerable to global shocks in the form of crude oil prices, the dollar exchange rate, and the foreign portfolio investors. <br /><br />India imports nearly 80% of all the crude oil it needs, and it means the import bill is uncomfortably high. The economy needs strong growth in exports to have adequate dollars to pay for the imports.<br /><br />This also means that India is extremely sensitive to sharp rise or fall in dollar exchange rate. And that is where the rise in US interest rates will hurt the South Asian economy. <br /><br />Rising interest rates in US increase the value of dollar, as well as lead to outflow of foreign money from Indian stocks and other financial assets, leading to a vicious cycle that will weaken the rupee further.<br /><br />The result will be a rise in the cost of imports and the Indian consumer will have to pay more for the same goods and services that he or she availed before.<br /><br />In an increasingly shaky world, India will need a strong cache of reserves and a firm domestic economy that can support the local economy if and when the world enters the next recession. <br /><br />The country’s foreign exchange reserves jumped by $2.68 billion -- one of the largest increases in recent months—to touch $396.084 billion in the week ended January 4. The value of the gold reserves increased by $465.5 million to $21.689 billion in the reporting week, according to latest RBI data. <br /><br />The Indian central bank is <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/a-multi-billion-question-about-rbis-reserves/articleshow/67137313.cms">famously</a> among the most conservative in the world.

While China and the United States are edging closer to a trade deal to end their protracted tariff war, the mutual distrust and geopolitical rivalry between the world's top two economies appears to be escalating.<br /><br /> Squabbles over China's growing influence in Latin America and the Caribbean broke out again after Beijing last week secured Jamaica's official endorsement of its vast <a href="https://www.scmp.com/topics/belt-and-road-initiative">"Belt and Road Initiative"</a>.<br /><br /> Jamaica joined President <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword>'s signature infrastructure and trade push on Thursday by signing a memorandum of understanding, making it the latest Caribbean country to join the initiative after Barbados, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.<br /><br /> Beijing's political and economic inroads into countries deemed to be America's backyard have apparently unnerved Washington, with Secretary of State <keyword id="3109665" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mike-Pompeo">Mike Pompeo</keyword> ramping up his criticism of China in the past few days.<br /><br /> During a four-nation tour of Latin America, the top US diplomat focused heavily on <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3006000/mike-pompeo-blames-hypocritical-chinese-aid-nicolas">China's role in Venezuela</a> and growing economic reach in the region, accusing Beijing of injecting predatory, corrosive capital to buy off corrupt leaders and playing a long game against Washington's interests.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Analysts said Pompeo's remarks on China showed that the progress reportedly achieved on the trade dispute would not extend to other tensions in bilateral ties, and the two countries remained on a collision course in the long run.<br /><br /> "With China's continuous rise and its desire to reclaim its greatness on the world stage, the competition and even confrontation with the US are almost inevitable, with Latin America becoming the latest battleground," said <keyword id="2320977" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Huang-Jing">Huang Jing</keyword>, a professor at Beijing Language and Culture University's Institute of International and Regional Studies.<br /><br /> During his stop in Santiago on Friday, Pompeo said the Chilean authorities shared the same concerns with Washington about China's influence. "China's trade activities often are deeply connected to their national security mission, their technological goals, their desire to steal intellectual property, to have forced technology transfer, to engage in activity that is not economic," he said.<br /><br /> He reiterated his concerns on Saturday in Peru. "Too often we see China's predatory lending and debt diplomacy reverse positive advances in this area," he said. "Our shared goal would be to resist Chinese overtures and promote transparency."<br /><br /> Pompeo continued to rap China during his trip to Paraguay, when he became the first US secretary of state to visit the former dictatorship since 1965.<br /><br /> "If China shows up to compete on a commercial basis, that seems perfectly reasonable," he said in an interview with the Voice of America while in Paraguay, the only South American country that does not have diplomatic ties with Beijing, on Saturday.<br /><br /> "When they show up with malign intent, to give money with strings attached, which will destroy the sovereignty of a South American nation, that is not good for the people in that country, and the US is prepared to help those countries recognise that threat and to offer alternatives to it," he said.<br /><br /> "We don't want China to show up with bags full of money and bribe officials. We don't want China to show up and put Huawei or Chinese technology into the infrastructure of these countries so that the citizens, the citizens of Chile or the citizens of Paraguay, have their information, their private information, stolen by the Chinese government. We don't want corrupt activity," he said.<br /><br /> Describing Beijing as a pretend friend of Latin America, Pompeo also criticised China's role in propping up Venezuela's embattled leader Nicolas Maduro during the trip.<br /><br /> "China's bankrolling of the Maduro regime helped precipitate and prolong the crisis in that country," Pompeo said on Friday, adding that China had invested over US$60 billion through oil-for-loan deals in the past decade.<br /><br /> His remarks came as Washington has become increasingly sensitive about Beijing's inroads into the region amid US President <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword>'s trade war with China and escalating rivalry over technological supremacy among other geopolitical tensions.<br /><br /> Countering China's global ambitions also topped the agenda of Brazil's right-wing president <keyword id="4410893" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="jair-bolsonaro">Jair Bolsonaro</keyword>'s White House meeting with Trump last month.<br /><br /> "Based on my observations of the triangular relations between China, the US and Latin America in the past decade, Washington's wariness of China's expanding presence is on a rapid rise," said Jiang Shixue, director of the Centre for Latin American Studies at Shanghai University.<br /><br /> Dong Jingsheng, deputy director of Peking University's Latin America Research Centre, also noted Pompeo's remarks were in line with the growing antagonism and hostility towards China in Washington.<br /><br /> While Beijing had insisted it did not intend to displace Washington's dominance around the globe, he said it was understandable the US felt unsettled by a rising China, which is now the largest trading partner and investor for many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.<br /><br /> "With China-US relations sinking to a historical low and tensions spiralling beyond trade rifts, it is natural to see the ratcheting up of 'China threat' narratives in the US and other regions," Dong said.<br /><br /> Both Dong and Huang also noted that - like most official dialogue channels between China and the US - their formal consultation mechanism on Latin American affairs had been suspended under Trump.<br /><br /> Huang said there was an acute sense of insecurity among political elites in Washington over China's rise, which had led to efforts to forge an alliance to confront Beijing amid America's perceived decline and withdrawal from its global leadership role under Trump's "America First" policy.<br /><br /> "Unlike Trump, Pompeo represented the majority view of the Republican establishment and his hawkish and sometimes rather emotional remarks on China have to be taken seriously," he said.<br /><br /> Experts also cautioned that China's investments and political ties with Latin American countries could be affected by Washington's diplomatic efforts targeting Beijing.<br /><br /> "With the US entering another cycle of its presidential elections soon, it is very likely that both countries will continue to wrangle over a litany of bilateral and geopolitical issues, with bilateral ties in limbo for a long time," Huang said.<br /><br /> This article originally appeared on the <a href="http://www.scmp.com">South China Morning Post (SCMP)</a>, the leading news media reporting on China and Asia.

<p>However, a new Chinese government regulation restricting military use of foreign autos shows that efforts to create a thorny environment for these brands is likely to continue-and possibly intensify-in 2014.</p>
<p>The Chinese government and state-run media made several efforts at bad PR for foreign luxury auto brands in 2013, and a newly announced restriction strongly suggests that this trend will continue in the coming year.</p>
<p>According to a report in Bloomberg today, Xinhua News Agency <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-13/china-military-to-stop-buying-foreign-branded-cars-xinhua-says.html" target="_blank">reported</a> that China's military will no longer purchase foreign-branded vehicles, a measure approved by President Xi Jinping and the central military commission.</p>
<p>This new regulation is a more explicit critique of purchasing foreign auto brands than a previous rule enacted in April banning the use of military license plates on luxury autos. It's not just sales to government officials that have been a focus-this summer, Chinese state-run media outlets released several reports accusing foreign auto companies of <a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/foreign-brands-scramble-to-adapt-to-chinas-thorny-business-environment/33962/" target="_blank">price-gouging on models exported to China</a>.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Chinese consumers continued the mad rush to buy foreign luxury <keyword id="20632" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Cars">cars</keyword> in 2013, especially in the mass luxury segment. BMW Group, which just reported its 2013 earnings report, saw <a href="https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/pressDetail.html?title=bmw-group-posts-record-sales-for-2013&amp;outputChannelId=6&amp;id=T0163928EN&amp;left_menu_item=node__804" target="_blank">a 19.7 percent increase</a> in mainland China deliveries of BMW and MINI vehicles, for a total of 390,713. Meanwhile, competitor and government official favorite Audi saw China sales <a href="http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2014/01/Audi_AaK.html" target="_blank">rise by 21.2 percent in 2013</a>, helping to propel parent company Volkswagen to the position of top foreign auto maker in China. In addition, Daimler reported <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303393804579311872590201550?mg=reno64-wsj&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702303393804579311872590201550.html" target="_blank">an 11 percent jump</a> in Mercedes-Benz China sales.</p>
<p>The ultra-luxury segment remained a mixed bag in 2013 as ostentatious displays of wealth were a direct target of the anti-corruption campaign. While Volkswagen's Porsche posted <a href="http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2014/01/Bentley_FY.html" target="_blank">20 percent annual growth</a> in the China market, Bentley's deliveries to China <a href="http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2014/01/Porsche_AaK.html" target="_blank">went down from 2,253 cars in 2012 to 2,191 in 2013</a>, despite posting 19 percent global growth overall. Volkswagen reported today that China remains the second-largest market for Lamborghini, but has not reported the total number of China deliveries, and BMW also excluded China-specific sales numbers for Rolls-Royce in 2013, instead stating that it had been "<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/10567355/Luxury-cars-drive-UK-exports-to-China.html" target="_blank">an outstanding year</a>" for the brand.</p>
<p>However, as the government continues to go after foreign luxury auto brands, expectations are lower for the year to come. BMW just stated that it is expecting <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20140112-703399.html" target="_blank">"low" double-digit growth</a> in 2014, in contrast to this year's numbers.</p>
<p>The Chinese government's dream is likely to see a day when homegrown luxury models such as Hongqi are able to compete with these foreign brands, but popular sentiment still remains opposed to purchasing a high-end Chinese vehicle. According to a <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-04/china-luxury-car-sales-seen-beating-u-s-by-2016.html" target="_blank">McKinsey survey of Chinese car customers</a> from earlier this year, 59 percent said they wouldn't choose a Chinese brand, and 16 percent said they believed that a Chinese brand will never be able to produce a luxury model that receives global recognition.</p>

China Is Finding New Ways To Crack Down On Foreign Luxury Automakers

It's the only issue where China's authoritarian government has left room for protest.</p><p>In March, a famous Chinese television journalist named Chai Jing put a documentary called <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=video&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0CCYQtwIwAGoVChMIzfGet4izxwIVxIoNCh2ZRQT9&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DT6X2uwlQGQM&amp;ei=K1_TVY2wB8SVNpmLkegP&amp;usg=AFQjCNEctXiWYtAD7w2dyVCLWNr-PA2asA&amp;sig2=3UA8YR6ehSn0XD962pFfWQ&amp;bvm=bv.99804247,d.dmo">'Under the Dome' </a>on the internet.</p><p>It's a heart wrenching investigation into the roots and results of China's huge pollution problem. The well researched presentation replete with facts and in depth interviews immediately went viral.</p><p>Observers were surprised it was allowed to even exist on the internet. It had over 150 million views in a matter of days, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/03/16/this-documentary-went-viral-in-china-then-it-was-censored-it-wont-be-forgotten/">according to the Washington Post</a>.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Reuters</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">The government took it down after three weeks. </span></p><p>That wasn't the end of it, though. When reporters asked Chinese Premier Li Keqiang about the documentary's damning findings, instead of shutting them down, <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2015twosession/2015-03/15/content_19815052_5.htm">he actually responded</a>:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">I want to tell you that the Chinese government is determined to tackle environmental pollution, and tremendous efforts have been made in this regard. The progress we have made still fall far short of expectation of our people. Last year I said that the Chinese government would declare a war against environmental pollution. We are determined to carry forward our efforts until we achieve our goal.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">We must get the focus of our efforts right. This year our focus will be to ensure the full implementation of the newly revised environmental protection law. All illegal production and emissions will be brought to justice and held accountable. We need to make the cost for pollution too high to bear. More support, including capacity building, needs to be given to these environmental law enforcement departments.</p><p>This doesn't happen every day in China - in fact it rarely happens at all.</p><p>China has made big overtures at environmental safety, spending billions investing in alternative energy and pledging to cut carbon emissions. </p><p>It has laws on the books to promote environmental safety too, but as 'Under the Dome' shows over and over again, people don't follow them. There's always a way for powerful people to skirt requirements, which turns this into another issue the government has vowed to combat - corruption.</p><p>For over a year, President Xi Jingpin has been engaged in an anti-corruption probe that has taken down thousands of business people and government officials, "powerful tigers" and "lowly flies" alike.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Reuters</span></p><p class="caption">Hospital workers hold a moment of silence at a commemoration ceremony for the victims of last week's massive explosions at Binhai new district in Tianjin, China.</p></div><p></p></div></div>This is what makes Tianjin so dangerous. With a lot of issues - for example, religious or political freedom - Chinese people expect to be censored by their government. They often even preemptively censor themselves.</p><p>The environment and corruption, though, are two issues where they expect the government to do something - where, in fact, the government has promised to do something.</p><p>For days, after the blast the Chinese government shot silver-iodide into approaching clouds, keeping rain from falling on what has become a ghost city, according to <a href="https://instagram.com/p/6W0KuBtD-K/">Associated Press journalist Helen Franchineau</a>.</p><p>This is a common practice ahead of big events in the country, like the Olympics. The chemicals dissipate rain clouds and make the weather nice and sunny.</p><p>On Tuesday, though, it rained, <a href="http://shanghaiist.com/2015/08/18/first_rainfall_since_tianjin_explos.php">covering the city in a mysterious white foam.</a> Residents complained of burning sensations on their lips and skin.</p><p>They'll expect the government to do something about that.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p><p></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-powerful-trailer-for-the-man-in-the-high-castle-2015-7">Ridley Scott is about to show us a world where the Allies lost World War II</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="dta241djpRYxOJPwswWRVKuVkW494WCf" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">For the past week, code-sharing website GitHub has endured a blistering DDoS (Dedicated Denial of Service) hack attack aiming to knock the website offline.</span><p>The attack on the US-based site now <a href="https://status.github.com/">seems to finally be abating</a>&#xa0;- and <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/chinese-authorities-behind-ddos-attack-on-github-2015-3">fingers are being firmly pointed at the Chinese authorities as being behind it</a>. It's not even the first time that China has been accused of hacking American companies.</p><h3>GitHub may have fallen foul of Chinese censors</h3><p>The evidence that Chinese authorities were behind the attack is piling up.</p><p>First, there's what the hackers were actually doing. A DDoS attacks works by overloading a website with traffic (often from unwitting, hijacked computers): This stops legitimate visitors from accessing the site, and can even crash the targeted servers entirely, taking the entire website offline.</p><p>Two specific pages on GitHub were being targeted by the DDoS attack- and both contain content that frustrates&#xa0;Chinese authorities. The first was maintained by GreatFire, an organisation that monitors China's online censorship program, which is often referred to as the "Great Firewall of China." The other page linked to Chinese-language versions of the New York Times, a news publication banned (along with many others) in the country and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/28/opinion/chinas-fear-of-women-with-pamphlets.html?mabReward=A3&amp;gwh=2FF5F642078DBCCE8641651183742842&amp;gwt=pay&amp;assetType=opinion&amp;_r=0">which has published a recent editorial critical of Chinese</a> "government thuggery."</p><p>GitHub said that "based on reports we've received, we believe the intent of this attack is to convince us to remove a specific class of content."</p><h2>Security researchers are in agreement</h2><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Mikko Hyponen, executive at security firm F-Secure, told the Wall Street Journal that the nature of the attack suggests it may well have been perpetrated by Chinese authorities. <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-coding-website-github-hit-with-cyberattack-1427638940">He told the Wall Street Journal that the hackers had access to a</a> "high level of China's Internet infrastructure," suggesting that "it had to be someone who had the ability to tamper with all the Internet traffic coming into China."<p>In a breakdown on how the DDoS attack functioned, <a href="http://www.netresec.com/?page=Blog&amp;month=2015-03&amp;post=China%27s-Man-on-the-Side-Attack-on-GitHub">security researcher Erik Hjelmvik says he believes that the Chinese government was responsible</a>. "This attack demonstrates how the vast passive and active network filtering infrastructure in China... can be used in order to perform powerful DDoS attacks," he concludes. "Hence, the [Great Firewall of China." cannot be considered just a technology for inspecting and censoring the Internet traffic of Chinese citizens, but also a platform for conducting DDoS attacks against targets world wide with help of innocent users visiting Chinese websites."</p><p><a href="https://zh.greatfire.org/blog/2015/mar/chinese-authorities-compromise-millions-cyber%20attacks">GreatFire has also accused China of being behind the attack on the American company</a>, saying it "can now confidently conclude that the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is responsible for both of these attacks." (<a href="https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2015/mar/we-are-under-attack">GreatFire's own website has previously been targeted by a DDoS attack</a>, allegedly also orchestrated by the CAC.)</p><h2>And it's not the first time...</h2><p class="p2"></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>If true, it's a brazen attack on an American company by the Chinese government. But this isn't a new situation. There's a long list of hack attacks on American companies believed to have been perpetrated by Chinese state-sponsored hackers.<p>For starters, <a href="https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2015/mar/evidence-shows-cnnic-and-cac-behind-mitm-attacks">GreatFire has previously posted evidence on its website purporting to show that the CAC has recently launched man-in-the-middle impersonation hack attacks on Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google</a>, some of the largest US tech companies. The attack involves impersonating a site via forged certificates of authenticity, to gain access to users' confidential information.&#xa0;</p><p><a href="http://fortune.com/2015/03/30/china-pursues-cyberpolitics-by-other-means-again-with-github-attack/">And Fortune notes that US insurance company Anthem was hacked this year</a>, with 80 million customers' details compromised, "in what US investigators later said was likely a Chinese state-sponsored operation."</p><p>In fact, last October FBI Director James Comey&#xa0;spoke out against Chinese hackers, <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/fbi-director-china-has-hacked-every-big-us-company-2014-10">saying that practically every major US company has been hacked at some stage by China</a>. "There are two kinds of big companies in the United States," he said in an interview. "There are those who've been hacked by the Chinese and those who don't know they've been hacked by the Chinese."</p><p>A Senate panel also said last year that China was attacking US military contractors, with computer networks broken into 20 times in a year, <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-hacked-u-s-military-contractors-senate-panel-says-1410968094">according to the Wall Street Journal</a>. (The transport companies weren't identified by name, and China denies the accusation.) <a href="http://www.ncix.gov/publications/reports/fecie_all/Foreign_Economic_Collection_2011.pdf">Another report dating back from 2011</a> labels Chinese hackers as "the world's most active and persistent perpetrators of economic espionage."</p><p>Of course, the US companies aren't the only targets of alleged Chinese hackers. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/r-taiwan-seeks-stronger-cyber-security-ties-with-us-to-counter-china-threat-2015-3">Taiwan is currently seeking stronger cybersecurity ties to the US, to help counter the alleged threat of Chinese attacks</a>. The country has seen more hacks targeted at it in early 2014 than any other country in the Asia-Pacific region.</p><h2>The US is looking for an appropriate response</h2><p class="p1"></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>In May 2014, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/us-china-spying-charges-2014-5">five Chinese government officials were charged with launching cyberattacks on numerous US companies</a>.&#xa0;The hackers targeted industrial businesses and stole trade secrets. China denied the accusations.<p>Comey said the indictment is "an important step...&#xa0;But there are many more victims, and there is much more to be done. With our unique criminal and national security authorities, we will continue to use all legal tools at our disposal to counter cyber espionage from all sources."</p><p>The response indicates that the US is prepared to take action against hack attacks - although it is cautious about taking things too far. There's no historic precedent for this kind of aggressive intrusion by a foreign state actor targeting an American company.</p><p>When North Korea was named as being responsible for the devastating attack on Sony Pictures late last year, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/us-official-names-the-north-korean-general-who-may-have-ordered-the-sony-hack-2015-1">President Obama was asked whether this foreign attack on a US company should be considered an act of war</a>.&#xa0;He said no, explaining: "I think it as an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly, very expensive. We take it very seriously. We will respond proportionately."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/will-shortz-china-ping-pong-2014-1">Here Is America's Best Hope For Ending China's Ping Pong Dominance</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="RoMWY5azpFeBx_vevk1JvkEc0-xgvkbF" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
