If you want to understand Americans attention to Cyber security observe how we drive. Imagine those folks working a computer at your bank, government office etc. Hell we could have decent security (we don't) and it would be continuously negated by folks who simply cannot or will not pay attention and follow a few rules. Many simply do not know having never had any basic cyber training an d they work in positions that in aggregate are quite damaging.
Look at the damage done by single individuals intentionally and then multiply that tenfold by the unaware. Most organizations are unaware for months if then there has been a breech. Running down who is responsible can be a lifetime career for a person. The biggest security challenges always come from individuals. I suspect QP's have a greater appreciation than most because of working with so often and so closely with foreign troops.

There are two books one published by FMSO entitled " The Dragons Quantum Leap" and the other by NDU's Institute for National Strategic Studies " Chinese Views of Future Warfare" that are quite good. The first one is by the same Chinese officers as the one on Amazon. It's been around for awhile, not many cared enough to read it. I think both are free to AD. We were wasting our blood, treasure and time in the sandbox and the Chinese were locking down strategic assets worldwide. The Chinese basic view is that the West raped and pillaged China for 200 years and now its their turn at bat.
I am not a believer in coincidence, nor am I a member of the tin foil hat club. There are simply too many indicators along a relatively short timeline not to consider that perhaps a strategic plan is being executed.
