SAN FRANCISCO: The Chinese Government appears to be abiding by its September pledge to stop supporting the hacking of American trade secrets to help companies there compete, private US security executives and government advisors said on June 20.

FireEye Inc, the US network security company best known for fighting sophisticated Chinese hacking, said in a report released late June 20 that breaches attributed to China-based groups had plunged by 90% in the past two years. The most dramatic drop came during last summer's run-up to the bilateral agreement, it added.
