Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped a bombshell this week about our nation’s cybersecurity failures. He revealed that Chinese hackers had already broken into the U.S. Treasury before he even took office in January. This is what happens when America goes soft on China.
The Treasury Department has been hit by three major cyber attacks in just five years. Two of these attacks happened since December alone. Our government’s computer systems are like swiss cheese, and our enemies know it.
Chinese spies have been running wild through our most sensitive financial data. They operated during normal business hours in China, treating our Treasury like their personal playground. Where was the Biden administration when this was happening?
Bessent inherited this disaster from the previous administration’s failures. He’s now working overtime to fix years of neglect and weakness. Finally, we have someone who understands that China is not our friend.
The cybersecurity team at Treasury has been gutted this year. Leaders have been leaving left and right after Elon Musk’s efficiency team started cleaning house. Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
This is exactly why President Trump picked Bessent for this job. He knows how to deal with foreign threats and protect American interests. We need fighters, not career bureaucrats who let China walk all over us.
Our financial system controls the world’s economy, and China wants to destroy it. They’re not just stealing money – they’re trying to bring down America itself. We cannot let communist hackers control our economic future.
Bessent is taking charge and putting America first again. He’s strengthening our defenses and sending a clear message to Beijing. The days of China treating America like a punching bag are over.
