Hillary Clinton has recently aired accusations against China claiming that it hacks everything that doesn't move in America.

During a campaign event in the state of New Hampshire, the 67-year-old presidential candidate claimed that the Chinese hackers have stolen huge amounts of government information, reported the Quartz.

Further, US officials have also blamed China for several cyber-security breaches over the past few years.

Commenting on the issue, the US director of national intelligence James Clapper said that China is a leading suspect in the hack of OPM, but Beijing has denied the allegations.

Referring to ongoing territorial disputes between China and US allied, Clinton, who was previously accused of exposing government information to potential cyber-breaches, said that the China's military has been growing very quickly and they were establishing military installations that again threaten countries they have treaties with.
