If true, the attack described by Bloomberg would mean the US fell victim to one of the most spectacular attack, if not the most spectacular attack, in history and at the hand of the Chinese. It's equally credible that they would never want to acknowledge that.

  It's not the idea, which is indeed old and used. It's the execution and success (if true).
