China et al don't care all that much about individual users.
By compromising a large network provider they have the ability to access data from enterprise and government customers. Which as we saw when the US did it is very beneficial for trade negotiations etc.
- martinald 6y agoDo they though? Nearly everything these days has TLS/SSL. What would they gain from intercepting a load of encrypted data? Even NSA said their snooping on network infrastrucure was becoming useless with the leaked info on their monitoring, which was years ago. I really don't see the value these days of being able to intercept traffic like this. You will obviously find bits and bobs that isn't encrypted but it's not like 20 years ago where you could get everything in a few days.
