White House promises to fight theft of trade-secrets

The White House vowed to fight foreign stealing of US trade secrets, a day after a report linked China's military to widespread cyber-theft, according to the BBC. The US offiial strategy document cautioned against illicit activity which jeopardizes US economic and national security. The US says it has repeatedly voiced its concerns with China about cyber-attacks and trade data theft. China's military said that Tuesday's report by a US-based security firm was both incorrect and lacked in any technical evidence. The White House document disclosed on Wednesday called for greater co-ordination among various government agencies. It also called on the private sector to be well-informed about the risk of trade-secrets loss or theft and urged for boosting intelligence and law enforcement.
