China\u2019s in trouble now: President Joe Biden is angry \u2014 really, really <\/em>angry \u2014 about its cyberattacks. So angry that the White House on Monday issued a condemnation that actually cited China by name. Oooooh!<\/p>\n

Beijing must be quaking in its boots: If officials there don\u2019t shape up, who knows? Biden might castigate them a second time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The White House statement, which blames the Chinese government for the massive hack of Microsoft Exchange servers this year and other attacks since 2011, reads like self-parody: It sternly (and rightly) scolds Beijing \u2014 but doles out no consequences to make the Chinese pay or to deter future attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States has long been concerned about the People\u2019s Republic of China\u2019s (PRC) irresponsible and destabilizing behavior in cyberspace,\u201d it chides. And so \u201ctoday, the United States and our allies and partners are . . .\u201d \u2014 wait for it!<\/em> \u2014 \u201c. . . exposing further details of the PRC\u2019s pattern of malicious cyber activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exposing details \u2014 that\u2019s it?<\/p>\n

Oh, wait: Washington also <\/em>got the Europeans to issue similar condemnations (everyone knows how fearsome they <\/em>can be against China). And it charged four Chinese nationals, including three intelligence officers, with stealing information dating to 2011. (Too bad none is in custody or likely ever to stand trial.)<\/p>\n

It looks like those \u201callies\u201d would only <\/em>join in as long as the entire effort was toothless. But this tells Beijing that Washington cares more about a show of unity than actually making the bad guys pay. If anything, the Chinese will only feel emboldened to wage more attacks. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, their digital assaults have cost \u201cgovernments and businesses billions of dollars in stolen intellectual property, ransom payments and cybersecurity mitigation efforts,\u201d notes Secretary of State Antony Blinken.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity expert Dmitri Alperovitch warns that Beijing\u2019s breach of Microsoft systems, which put hundreds of thousands of businesses and private info at risk, were \u201cmuch more dangerous than the Russian SolarWinds hacks\u201d last year, yet those triggered US sanctions against Russian culprits. The failure to punish any \u201cPRC-affiliated actors\u201d now looks like \u201ca double standard,\u201d says Alperovitch. \u201cWe treat China with kid gloves.\u201d<\/p>\n

China is increasingly testing the West \u2014 in the South China Sea, by withholding COVID data, over Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Uyghurs \u2026 Let\u2019s hope Biden summons the will to finally push back meaningfully before it\u2019s too late to matter.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
