This article describes how tensions built up between China and the US, owing to the two powers conducting cyberespionage campaigns against each other, and how Washington and Beijing sought to ease this situation through a bilateral agreement in 2015. The author also looks at 1) the successes and limitations of the 2015 agreement; and 2) how internet governance and the possibility of the application of anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) in cyberspace continue to cause disagreement between the US and China.
