Hillary Clinton accuses China of widespread hacking
US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has accused China of "trying to hack into everything that doesn't move in America" and stealing government information, in strongly worded comments likely to irk Beijing.
Clinton, a former secretary of state, pulled no punches in remarks to Democratic supporters at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Saturday.
James Clapper, the US director of national intelligence, said last month that China was the "leading suspect" in a massive breach affecting the personal data of millions of US government employees. Beijing dismissed the charge, saying it was based on "absurd logic". Clinton, the current frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said: "They're trying to hack into everything that doesn't move in America ... stealing huge amounts of government information, all looking for an advantage.
