The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information, is believed by experts to have been obtained from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin – a centralized hub that provides infrastructure services for more than 6,000 clients across China, including advanced science and defense agencies.



Maybe, they are just more competent and their secret operations stay more secret
lol maybe, but given that America has immigrant populations from nearly every country, I would be shocked if another country managed to have a more effective spy network, though the USSR had a shot due to their support of internationalism. “There’s a Chinese assassin among us? That Chinese guy is kinda sus.”
… that doesnt make sense.
The US is so mighty and diverse and great and all. This lofty claim would make them easier to target because diversity is already there so sending a chinese guy would not stand out.
America’s ability to do spy shit in other countries is unrelated to their ability to catch spies. But yeah no in the past, such as when China caught the CIA using an unsecured wordpress site to communicate with assets, the CIA just blamed some random chinese guy.
