We (the West) are so fucked. While we've been promoting people to high government office who are barely qualified to flip burgers, catering to deranged and sick nose ringed purple haired adolescents who dont know what bathroom to use, and graduating these little snot nosed parasites with worthless Advanced DEI degrees, the Chinese have been playing the long game.

China Had Persistent Access to US, Allied Networks For Years: White House Official

The comments follow several reports earlier this year by Dutch intelligence agencies, which found that state-backed hackers in China had compromised more than 20,000 systems across dozens of Western governments, international organizations, and a large number of companies within the defense industry.

That campaign, dubbed COATHANGER, allowed China-based hackers to achieve “permanent access” to vital systems, according to a Dutch statement. Moreover, Dutch intelligence last month confirmed that “it is likely that the state actor still has access to systems of a significant number of victims at the moment.”

Thus, the hackers continue to maintain their illicit access to key government agencies in the West.

It’s currently unclear if COATHANGER was designed purely for espionage purposes or as part of the broader CCP effort to prepare critical systems in foreign nations for sabotage

Is one preferred over the other? Both are pretty bad and neither is acceptable, IMO...:mad:
