Comment on China admits to being behind Volt Typhoon cyber activity targeting US

The title is misleading, rather ‘Two anonymous observers in secret Biden talks claim Volt Typhoon has been responsible for intrusions into vital critical infrastructure’.

Click bait headlines and journalism are as much a threat to democracy and independent critical thought as the CCP.

Just read the article before you (intentionally?) misinterpret the content:

The admission of Chinese responsibility came during a secret meeting between outgoing Biden administration officials and Chinese representatives on the sidelines of a summit in Geneva in December 2024. […] The Chinese attendants referred indirectly to the activity as being a warning for the US to stay away from any attempts to support or defend Taiwan.

  Not only did I read the article, what you have quoted further confirms the misleading title, the source is anonymous and there is an interpretation of intent, not direct or open admission.
  
  Could the CCP be responsible, absolutely, is there clear evidence of admission, rather than international diplomatic posturing, not at all.
  
  If you believe there is a clear factual open admission and ownership of guilt by the CCP then please point me to it.
  
  Some leaders are not so subtle in international interactions when making threats, even in the full glare of public media.
