Since I reside in a Five Eyes country (Australia) and have publicly presented four cases I led on China’s APT41 attacking organisations in ASEAN, particularly concerning China’s cyber and political strategies, I was curious to explore what China publishes about Five Eyes operations.

Back in their districts, GOP lawmakers get an earful on DOGE and Musk
ROSWELL, Georgia — The crowd packed into City Hall and filled an overflow room with one question, above all, for their Republican congressman: What did he think of Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn mission to shrink the federal government?
Their Atlanta suburb in a solid-red district was hardly a hub of the liberal resistance, but hundreds had shown up to confront Rep. Richard McCormick in person. Now each argument from the lawmaker brought a new round of shouts, groans and boos.
“If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going be an effective town hall,” McCormick said, five minutes into defending Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.
“But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted.
Town halls this week for congressional Republicans from Georgia to Wisconsin to Oregon grew testy as voters showed up to vent, outraged at the firing of workers and the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive data. Protesters showed up around the country at lawmakers’ offices.
