The Belarusian opposition leader met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday, after saying on CNN that the US had a moral obligation to stand up for democracy against President Alexander Lukashenko s dictatorship. She arrived in the United States at an odd moment, since historically Washington was a paragon for dissidents. But ever since former President Donald Trump s rejection of his election loss, this country has been a better parable of how democracy can teeter on the brink.

Antony Blinken said that the hackers were working for China s Ministry of State Security and said the agency has fostered an ecosystem of criminal contract hackers who carry out both state-sponsored activities and cybercrime for their own financial gain. These contract hackers cost governments and businesses billions of dollars in stolen intellectual property, ransom payments, and cybersecurity mitigation efforts, all while the MSS had them on its payroll, Blinken said.
