On Monday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced charges against five Chinese army officers for stealing trade secrets and internal documents from American companies. The indictments mark the first time the United States has filed criminal charges against foreign government officials over cyberspying. China calls the charges “made up” and accuses the U.S. of hypocrisy in light of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s disclosures that the U.S. does engage in industrial espionage.
