White House: Obama Will Talk To China About Hacking Our Weapon Systems -- Washington Examiner
Chinese hackers gained access to some of the top weapon systems in the United States military, especially those that project American power in the Pacific, according to a Pentagon report prepared by a Defense Department advisory council, a topic that President Obama’s spokesman said would be discussed at his next meeting with Chinese leaders.
“I’ve seen the report,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said during the press gaggle Tuesday. “I would refer you to the Pentagon for specifics about the potential hacking of weapon systems. But I would note, as you’ve heard from the president, his national security adviser and others, as well as myself, cybersecurity is a key priority of this administration. It is a key concern that we have. It is an issue that we raise at every level in our meetings with our Chinese counterparts, and I’m sure will be a topic of discussion when the president meets with President Xi in California in early June. It was certainly a topic of conversation when National Security Adviser Donilon was having meetings in China, from which he is just returning now.”

Well I can see China is going to modernize it's armed forces alot sooner then most would have hoped with this cyber espionage. The THAAD and AEGIS and the Patriots alone have the dynamics to project power - The Chinese have a terrible talent of being able to reverse engineer, make the system in question better and more efficient, and then they sell it dirt cheap to their allies. Many in the Chinese military are probable laughing right now.
