Hopefully, we're doing more than disabling "certain aspects" of the ongoing hacks. Once upon a time we a clearly communicated foreign policy that made certain assumptions on the part of the average citizen easy to make. Now? I'm not at all certain where the US stands in the mix of imports, China owned US property, exports, politics, and national safety or how any of that affects our ability to effectively maintain a defense hacking program. I'm certain that the mindset of profit before anything else is continuing to erode our efforts. (The hints I've read regarding some hacking made easier since we buy the majority of our computer hardware from China make sense to me. Haven't seen the US funding more robust US hardware manufacturing though.)
What I am certain of is that China will delight in using our current political and social instability against us with the real world goal to defeat us. If that means via Russia, it seems as if that'd be fine with them. (Referencing the meetings Russia & China have had the past two years.)
