Hacking attribution is always a joke.
Even proving a hack happened is effectively impossible, especially if nothing is even leaked. Even if something is leaked, the people claiming to have been hacked might have just hacked it themselves.
Insofar as hacking does occur, governments simply should not talk about it. Obviously, the US hacks every country, and you don’t see every country going around complaining about it. Instead, you hear about measures to prevent it.
When the US government accuses a country they are starting a war with of hacking their base, this is not serious adult behavior, and anyone who believes it should be ridiculed and otherwise bullied.

Alleged state-sponsored Chinese hackers have infiltrated the US Treasury Department, gaining access to unclassified documents and certain workstations used by government employees, according to a letter sent by the department to lawmakers on Monday.The Treasury Department was alerted to the breach on December 8 by BeyondTrust, a third-party software service provider. The hackers obtained a security key used by the vendor to secure a cloud-based service that remotely provides technical support for Treasury Departmental Offices (DO) end users. With this key, the perpetrators were able to override the service’s security, remotely access specific workstations, and gain access to unclassified documents maintained on those systems.
“Based on available indicators, the incident has been attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor,” the Treasury Department stated in a formal letter dated December 30.The department classified this breach as a major cybersecurity incident and has collaborated with the FBI, the intelligence community, and other investigators to assess the hack’s impact. The compromised service has been taken offline, and there is no evidence that the perpetrators still have access to Treasury information.
They just make this stuff up, whole cloth.
Remember a few months ago when Alex Karp, the Jewish CEO of military tech (spying and AI) startup Palantir announced that the only way forward for the US is do a 3-front war with Russia, China, and Iran?

It might be convenient that this will make him a lot of money, but it’s also necessary for America.
Earlier this month, he attended a pro-war event at the Reagan Library and made psychopath type statements about how everyone in the world should be afraid that Americans are going to “do very bad things to them.”
He is now a big Trump-supporter. He’s in with Elon and Vivek.
As everyone is probably aware, Palantier’s co-founder Peter Thiel was the primary backer and former employer of JD Vance.
It seems likely, or possibly inevitable, that in the first year of the Trump Administration there is going to be a massive push by all of these Silicon Valley people to escalate tensions with the Chinese. Aside from making a lot of money off of “defense,” these people now rightly view China as a major business competitor, and simply getting the American people to fight a war for them is a lot easier than outperforming them.
You’ll see many more stupid “Chinese hacker” stories that sound like they were written for babies. You may even hear that a Chinaman played a joke and went peepee in Donald’s Diet Coke. That is the level of adultness the US is operating on at this point.
