WASHINGTON, Dec 20 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The latest U.S. cyber allegations risk a bigger rift with China. The administration of President Donald Trump indicted Chinese hackers while its allies condemned economic espionage. The moves, like the recent detention of Huawei's chief financial officer, are ostensibly separate from trade talks, but Beijing won't see it that way.
U.S. authorities have unleashed a crackdown on Chinese intellectual-property thefts. In October, U.S. prosecutors for the first time succeeded in extraditing a Chinese intelligence officer to America for stealing trade secrets from GE Aviation and others. In November, Chinese state-backed chipmaker Fujian Jinhua was indicted for allegedly stealing designs from U.S. rival Micron Technology.
