It is merely a political maneuver to justify the intrusions and other 
illegal behavior by the NSA.  First it was the Commies that everyone had 
to be scared of.  Then it was terrorists (and especially those or Arabic 
ethnicity and/or Islamic religion).  And now it's Chinese hackers.

It's the US government.  They'll always have some excuse, and if none 
validly exists, they'll create it themselves.  Look at all the armed 
conflicts of the last two decades, and start with Ukraine/Crimea.  (The 
Maidan snipers were shooting at both sides of the conflict, and the 
Russians arrested a US Navy SEAL in Crimea.)
