US government debates action over Chinese cyberattacks

JB

The Obama administration is considering further action after high-level talks with Chinese officials over cyberattacks against America failed.

The Associated Press reports that two former U.S. officials say the administration is currently preparing a new National Intelligence Estimate -- a governmental assessment of concerns relating to security -- in order to better understand and analyze the persistency of cyberattacks against America which come from China.

Once this is complete, it will be possible to better address the security threat, as well as justify actions to defend both the general public and national security.
