Because it is never the "China Government" CA that is the problem, it is a medium to large Western-based CA getting hacked.

China, Iran, etc. don't want direct attribution.

And by "Western", keep in mind Italy and many other "2nd world" countries (to use some dated terminology).

2nd World? Doesn't that usually refer to former members of the old Eastern Block?[1]

To my knowledge, Italy has never been part of the Eastern Block.
