The US and China are playing 'who spies better'.

The current relationship between the US and China is often compared to the Cold War because of increasing espionage and cyberattacks. The situation is heating up not only behind closed doors, but also in the public arena, which contributes to global tensions.

Key events confirm that the digital arena has become a battleground. Recently, Chinese authorities have accused US intelligence agencies of hacking and industrial espionage. On the other hand, the US claims that China uses its technology companies to gather intelligence.

Experts emphasize that both countries have stepped up their cyber operations. "The focus is increasing against the backdrop of a general increase in tensions between the US and China," says a cybersecurity professor at the University of Hong Kong.

Among the consequences of this cyber war is a growing risk to the global economy and data security. Relations between the two countries continue to deteriorate, which may lead to a further escalation of the situation in cyberspace.

While spy agencies are adapting to the rapid changes in social media, big data, and open intelligence, intelligence communities have also switched to fundamentally different goals. If earlier the focus was on the intentions, capabilities and control of enemy nuclear weapons, now the focus is on artificial intelligence, quantum computing and biotechnology.

Key actors in global politics are following developments, realizing that much depends on the balance of power in the digital sphere. The current situation requires careful analysis and development of new cybersecurity strategies at the international level.
