From what I recall, it was a Chinese APT (designated as Storm-0558, which I think means they could not reliably attribute it to any group: https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/actor/storm-0558 https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/actor/storm-0558), that was sitting on developers’ workstations long enough to get access to master signing key from a memory dump that ended up on one of the workstations. They then used it to access US government officials’ emails (Department of State if I recall correctly), which supposedly gave China a strategic advantage and a better understanding of inner workings of US foreign policy.
You will not see it in news that China got favourable terms in some negotiations with a country in Africa (are of Chinese interests) and US got least favourable terms than they could’ve gotten because the Chinese negotiators knew something.
