Why? is the PLA more widely known for hacking individuals, especially American citizens?

  In general, yes.

      I don't see how either of those two articles refutes the assertion that the PLA is more likely to target Americans than the NSA.

        1. I was trying to display that NSA engages in the same actions as the PLA. 2. Real evidence points to real attacks on americans carried out by the NSA. The only tangible shred of information we have about the PLA comes from CNN/MSNBC/Business Insider talking points, and we all know how objective those are.
