White House Voices Concerns About China Cyber Law (reuters.com)
The White House said on Thursday that it raised concerns about China's new cyber security law during a meeting with a Chinese official after the latest round of talks between the two countries on cyber crime. From a report on Reuters: U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice met with Chinese State Councilor Guo Shengkun to discuss the importance "of fully adhering" to an anti-hacking accord signed last year between the China and the United States, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said. The deal, brokered during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington in 2015, included a pledge that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages. Rice told Guo that the United States was concerned "about the potential impacts" of a law that China adopted in November aimed at combating hacking and terrorism.
... that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages.
So doing it for political or military advantages is fine?
Nae king! Nae laird! Nae yurrupiean pressedent! We willna be fooled again!
Brought to you by the country who manipulates their currency to improve their global position. Yeah, sounds legit.
Is somebody worried that the US, a country that is in hardly any position to complain about restrictions and censorship, might have to hold up its end of the deal?

Until the NSA is dismantled, it will continue to do what it has always done: breach and compromise the security of its adversaries (i.e. everyone in the world) for political, economical, and industrial espionage and sabotage.
It really is this simple: until the NSA is gone, it will continue to do what it has always done.
I think this administration is too much about speaking softly and not enough about carrying a big stick. China won't stop government-sponsored cyber espionage just because we ask them nicely.
... that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages.
So doing it for political or military advantages is fine?
No, the keyword here was knowingly,
but you probably didn't manage to catch it over the noise of NSA and MSS both laughing their asses out together.

I know it's hard for someone like you to understand because the NSA just had their surveillance capabilities and practices exposed (hey look, turtles!), but that kind of thing has always been and still is more the CIA's domain. The sad fact of the matter is that the intelligence organizations of every developed country in the world are doing this kind of stuff, and no one expects an agreement like this to achieve full adherence from either side. So, why bother pointing a finger at one side or the other in such a general sense? Find some brass tacks to step on or crawl back under your rock, please.
We just can't get enough fake news from the New York Times and the Washington Post as they cast about looking for why Trump won.
Sorry, Hahahahaha, Again sorry.
WTF did they thought was going to happen? It is also nice to see that it IS allowed to hack others knowingly, only if companies are involved you should not do it. At least not on purpose to make money. Otherwise? Totes ok!
I also like the spin "You can not hack companies for gain because terrorism" or so it sounds.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
I am all for Trump's get tough on China stance but 25 years after the fall of the Soviet Union we should be applying the same model, rather than exporting our wealth to them via a trade deficit.
The Chinese economy is radically unbalanced right now much more so than our own in fact. If we suddenly deprived them of the sink for all the consumer goods the produces we could probably turn the PRC into failed state! What we ought to do is trigger that and simultaneously lay the ground work for installing a friendly government over their that by simply say "You bet we have a one China policy, the lawful government is the ROC and the capital is Taipei"

'It's totally worked for us' - UN
No, that's Russia's fault. They plan to release evidence of that... someday. I mean, a whole bunch of US organizations including things like the Coast Guard released a statement that the hacking was consistent with things Russia might like to do. So it's clearly their fault. I mean, someone used a common Russian RAT that could be gotten anywhere. And Podesta fell to a simple spear phishing email that said it was from the Ukraine. So, definitely them! The US intelligence community would definitely never mislead us to cover for the president's political goals....
Creating a Law of I will not hack U if U do not hack Me via Internet is not really going to work.
* How about I give your politician $1.14 Million for info instead of hacking?
** Create laws with $1.14 Million dollars in your pocket for info to flow to my country.
** I put 50 spies in your country so you can put 45 spies in my country, OK?
* Prevent hacking laws might create new products for sale that doesn't really work. Hence, reverse engineering.
*** Create laws is a wonderful exercise. After this ecxerxise[When U read this word, was it like exercise?], we need to create laws like in Western Europe.
ps. The word came out as exercise because of your profeincensy[Proficiency] in the language.
OK! Enough said, Under a Federation, a spy network is more like telepathy, the good guys like jedi.
OK. I understand, move economy forward with new laws to create new industries.
The only thing that has been definitely proven, is that the NSA is doing this, and at an unsurpassed scale where it treats all other countries as enemies. Is that hard to understand for someone like you?
