The diplomatic communication of the European Union has been intercepted for at least three years by a group of hackers, probably linked to a special unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. From the stolen material emerge the European concern for the unpredictability of the American president Donald Trump and the difficulties of the EU in relations with Russia and China. The leak was announced by the New York Times, which received over 1,100 cables discovered by the Area 1 security company.
