The U.S. has raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, provoking retaliatory measures from China, including 125% tariffs on American goods. Amid these escalating trade tensions, cybersecurity experts reveal a concerning trend: Chinese state-sponsored cyber operations are infiltrating U.S. critical infrastructure for long-term strategic advantage. Recent reports indicate a significant spike in cyber vulnerabilities and espionage targeting key industries crucial to economic competition. This suggests a merging of cyber operations with trade policy, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity in contemporary statecraft and economic conflicts.
The wave of state-sponsored cyber operations is here, with Chinese actors embedding in U.S. infrastructure to prepare for future geopolitical tensions.
Cyber is no longer a separate domain; it is the digital extension of trade policy - a favored instrument of statecraft.
