The cyber attacks is a major issue between the United States and China, since both sides often talk about it but essentially neither country takes responsibility, nor accepts the accusations. 
It is a fact that because of natureof these acts, it is difficult to say what the truth is, as not everything is black or white.
For its part, the United States appears poised to impose "unprecedented" sanctions on China to punish it for a series of alleged commercial cyberattacks, one claims Publication of the Washington Post.
According to the publication, invoked by anonymous US officials, the Obama administration plans to impose "unprecedented" sanctions against Beijing in response to a recent series of supposedly commercial cyber-attacks.
The government can justify these sanctions, according to information, stating that Chinese companies have exploited and benefited from cyber-thefts of US trade secrets, such as intellectual property, corporate and commercial secrets.
Apparently the Obama administration has not yet decided to proceed or not with the sanctions, but the White House is expected to take the final decision on the matter soon. A spokesman for the White House refused to comment on the matter.
Moreover, in a few weeks the visit of the Chinese President Xi is expected Jinping in Washington. Last week, a White House spokesman confirmed that there is "no doubt" that this issue (the issue of cyberattacks by China) will be on the agenda.
