After years of denial, gaslighting, and finger-pointing, Chinese Communist Party officials privately admitted in a closed-door meeting last December that they were behind a series of cyberattacks targeting critical American infrastructure—including water systems, ports, and airports. According to a Wall Street Journal exclusive citing sources familiar with the meeting, the CCP linked these attacks to America’s ongoing support for Taiwan.

In classic CCP fashion, the admission didn’t come publicly. During the Geneva summit late last year, Chinese officials tried to play both sides, initially blaming a “criminal organization” before quietly confirming their own involvement when pressed behind closed doors.

Let’s be clear: this was no random ransomware spree. These attacks, carried out by the state-backed hacker group “Volt Typhoon,” were strategic operations targeting the backbone of American life—from clean water supplies to air travel infrastructure to telecom networks. The FBI confirmed that Chinese hackers breached “multiple” telecom systems to siphon off call records and private data of U.S. political and government officials.

This is cyber-espionage on a scale that should make every American furious—and under the Biden regime, it would’ve been swept under the rug. But those days are over. President Trump is back, and the era of China’s unchecked aggression is officially on notice.

It was the Biden administration that spent years pretending Chinese hacking was just “speculation,” downplaying threats to infrastructure, and refusing to hold Beijing accountable while pushing green energy deals with the same communists who were digitally invading us. In fact, back in March 2024, Biden’s own EPA and national security adviser Jake Sullivan had to warn governors that both Iran and China were actively probing our nation’s water systems. Their response? Toothless emails and vague press briefings.

Now contrast that with today: President Trump is rebuilding cyber command capabilities, reimposing tariffs, and sending a clear message to Beijing—there will be consequences for attacking the American people.

The evidence of China’s deep infiltration is undeniable. The Associated Press reported in December that Chinese hackers had compromised at least eight major U.S. telecom companies. Their objective wasn’t just theft—it was control. They were mapping our networks for future attacks during any potential conflict. This is cyber warfare preparation, plain and simple.

The Chinese Embassy, of course, is already crying foul. Their spokespeople are out there saying cyberspace is “too complex” to assign blame and calling any accusations “smears.” It’s the same script they’ve used for years. But here’s the new reality: the Trump administration doesn’t play by Beijing’s rules.

America is back in the driver’s seat. Trump’s new trade team is crafting retaliatory tariffs, his national security team is ramping up cyber countermeasures, and the Department of Homeland Security has been given full latitude to protect critical infrastructure from digital sabotage.

This isn’t just about politics—it’s about sovereignty. While Joe Biden and his globalist pals were content to let China walk all over us, Trump is reminding the world that when you mess with American power, you get hit with American strength.

With tensions rising in the Taiwan Strait and the CCP openly admitting to acts of war, President Trump now has all the justification he needs to unleash a full-spectrum response—economically, diplomatically, and digitally.

China may have confessed. Now they better prepare for the consequences.
