According to BBG report, "the ensuing top-secret probe" "remains open more than three years later".

I find it extremely hard to believe that uncle Sam would let a state sponsored espionage of this scale silently continue for 3 years without warning the public and cut off the pipe.

If the alleged hacking were true, wouldn't it be 100x more important to stop the spyware immediately than collecting comprehensive evidence on who's behind it? At the end of the day, it's not like U.S. would start a nuclear war against China if the allegation is proven true.
