It describes the group as conducting cyberespionage, including operations from 2010 to 2015 against companies supplying COMAC C919 components and against U.S. and European jet-engine manufacturers, with the apparent objective of stealing commercial and aerospace trade-secret information to benefit China’s state-owned aerospace sector.
