WASHINGTON – The Justice Decompensant on Tuesday accused two Chinese hackers of targeting the progression of the vaccine by becoming a component of the country’s intelligence service as a component of a multi-year global crusade for cyber-theft from industries such as defense contractors, high-level production and solar power companies. . .

Judge Minischeck expelled officials who called the suspects, Li Xiaoyu and Dong Jiazhi, a combined threat that served to become a component of Chinese espionage centers and to enrich themselves. Authorities said an unsealed accusation opposed to them this month was the first to attack that threat.

U.S. government officials said the suspects had stolen data on other Chinese intelligence targets such as Huguy rights activists and, at the request of the State Security Ministry’s spy service, this year he concentrated on locating a coronavirus vaccine.

The indictment comes when Trump’s leadership has stepped up his complaint about Beijing for his theft of secrets and his inability to pollute the diversity of the coronavirus, and is an imperative escalation of Beijing’s whistleblowing campaign. The Justice Department said China’s covert activity can also delay the efforts of vaccine studies.

The accusations also came days later and allied countries accused Russia of hunting to borrow data on vaccine development.

The indictment also suggests that China did far less to curb its spying than it had vowed to as part of a nonaggression pact signed with the United States in late 2015 that was aimed at curbing China’s efforts to steal American technological know-how.

The deal should have stopped China’s piracy for about 18 months, cutting off advertising espionage paintings through the Chinese military. But Mr. Li and Mr. Dong, run through China’s intelligence agency, tried to take secrets from the loans in 2016 and 2017, the agreement was intended to be respected.
