First, here are a few fairly recent headlines just to set up a John Kerry punchline:
NYT: Attack Gave Chinese Hackers Privileged Access to U.S. Systems
Business Insider: Senior administration official: The latest China hack was classic espionage ‘on a scale we've never seen before’
Washington Post: Chinese hack of federal personnel files included security-clearance database
CNN: U.S. data hack may be 4 times larger than the government originally said
The Hill: Hack toll rises again: FBI says 18 million people may have been hit
And on Tuesday, at the seventh China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue, Secretary of State John Kerry nevertheless lauded China as a partner in progress:
Ben Franklin was a very interesting fellow, folks, and his huge interest in China – he called it the wisest of nations. And his huge interest in China brought him to study the cultivation of the (inaudible) silkworm, ship-building, candle-making, and home heating. And believe it or not, the Franklin stove was actually based on ideas about combustion from China. So you can see that intellectual property was a big deal several centuries ago, folks. (Laughter.)
This relationship is indeed if not the most consequential, certainly one of the most consequential relationships in the world today. It can possibly – and if done properly, we hope – define the 21st century. Represented here are two extraordinarily creative nations, nations of doers, nations of people who are always ready to honor the pursuit of education and always ready to push the curve of discovery. And indeed, all of China's history is written in that, and all of the history of the United States is written in that.

China responded, “we knew you were going to say that!”
