It shouldn't come as any surprise - well, it will to most of this board - that China is engaging in widespread data harvesting. The strategy is to "harvest now, decrypt later". That way you can build a profile on someone you want to target in the future, tracking them now, then later on have your Quantum compute and your AI go find them and target them directly. The PRC has been hacking US personnel files for over a decade now.
