Ethis committee will come t order. To help us understand what china is doing. We spend a lot of time on this committee debating whether xi jinping will make a move. This is a question that people continue to debate. I wonder if such an invasion or the preparation for such an invasion which would be incredibly costly as the Ranking Member very eloquently brought up yesterday has already begun. Put differently, the ccb has been attacking us. Government, our defense contractors, our Development Firms in cyber. And they had been robbing us on tech.
