If you want to give credit to a report detailing how much money your political leaders have piled up for themselves, hacking the media outfit that published it is a great way to confirm the story.
Do you think it matters now for the Chinese gov? By doing this and more they will make it very expensive for NYT and impossible for smaller outfits to mess with them. Maybe they'll uncover some dirt and release it to embarrass or discredit its reporters, who knows.
Google thought they'd forced them to back down and we know what happened.
