China Implicated in U.S Espionage..?

Rep. Frank Wolf, a Virginia Republican and New Jersey Republican Chris Smith, the two U.S congressmen said that their computers being compromised by sources apparently working out of China.
Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf says four of his computers were hacked. New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith says two of his computers were compromised. Over a nearly two year period, it is alleged Chinese interests made their way into computers on Capitol Hill.

“My suspicion is that I was targeted by Chinese sources because of my long history of speaking out about China’s abysmal human rights record,” according to a transcript of Wolf’s statement before the U.S. House on Wednesday. Wolf said that in his office, the hackers “got everything,” including all the casework regarding political dissidents around the world. Wolf plans to introduce a resolution that he says will help ensure protection for all House computers and information systems.
Meanwhile In Beijing, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no immediate comment. Last week, China denied that their officials secretly copied the contents of a laptop left unattended when Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez was in Beijing in December.
