The WHO is under the UN, which recognises the PRC as the "real China". How much of this is the UN's fault vs one of its agencies?

Could you provide links for those statements?

The US has also engages in economic espionage.

I think this situation shows more the incompetence of the US cyber security apparatus, at least when it comes to securing critical systems.

With the OPM breach and the Equifax leak the Chinese have the personal details and biometrics of millions of Americans who work for the government in areas that handle sensitive information.

The Russians have already specifically identified US cyberwarfare individuals before. So, it can be done and has been done. With the information the Chinese already have it is very unlikely they could not do the same, but they'd gain very little from it. (The US doesn't gain much and should probably stop the practice also.)

It doesn't achieve much, it increases the risk of revealing methods and sources. It also puts US cyber security personnel at greater risk, some of whom have spoken out against the practice.

Usually due to government intervention.

Corrupt and bloated businesses also "live until they collapse". I trust in democracy more than markets.

It doesn't seem to be worth the risk or hassle.
