Chinese hackers arrested after US request
12 April 2016 Technology
Chinese police have arrested hackers after the US government supplied them with a list of cybercrime suspects, the Washington Post reports.
The hackers are believed to have stolen research and development information from several US firms.
The arrests came shortly before Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the US for talks - partly about cyber security.
The US and China have regularly swapped accusations about who is behind the cyberattacks they suffer.
Quoting anonymous sources, the newspaper said the stolen trade secrets and plans were passed to Chinese firms that are rivals of the US businesses which were hit. Some of the recipients are believed to be state-run organisations.
