Washington says Beijing launched an unprecedented hacking operation on U.S. presidential candidates. Former President Donald Trump and his VP pick JD Vance, plus staff from both Republican and Democrat presidential campaigns, and Trump’s family members were all targeted. On Sunday, China sent 37 military aircraft near Taiwan just two days before the U.S. election.
