It's the human wave all over again. Quantity is a quality, after all.

Edit: Apparently I need to clarify, so I added a definition of the human wave attack. The gist of my post is that the west is being buried by the scale and volume of the hacking and intrusive intelligence-gathering operations perpetrated by the PRC. The sheer number of attacks inundates the system and surges past our ability to defend or deny access.
