For decades a vast army of Chinese Communist Party computer hackers has been waging cyberwarfare against the U.S. electric grid and other sensitive military and civilian networks and data bases.

According to the CCP’s top propaganda outlet, People’s Daily, America’s super-secret National Security Agency was successful last June in “infiltrating and controlling the core equipment of China's infrastructure, and stealing private data from Chinese users.”

If true, this would be among the first public indications that the United States is actually fighting back against the unrestricted warfare the CCP has waged against this country for over two decades. We, too, can now weaponize such information, including that of large numbers of Chinese nationals with “sensitive identities.”

It’s high time our mortal enemy is decisively punished for its aggression to date, and hopefully deterred from engaging in still worse down the road.
