"The White House could determine that the downsides of any meaningful, yet proportionate, retaliation outweigh the benefits"
And yet, the title is "U.S. Decides to Retaliate Against China’s Hacking" - this is quite sensationalistic.
- sosuke 11y agoYou're absolutely right, there is no decision, there is no announcement, they even say the White House can't decide how to. NYT needs to add a [RUMOR] tag.
