WASHINGTON – The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission today released a new report that it says details efforts by the Chinese government to engage in cyber warfare and espionage. The report, eight months in the making, was written by Northrop Grumman Corporation, which won a competitive contract from the Commission.
The report is likely to further strain U.S.-China relations. President Barack Obama will visit China in November to discuss a host of issues. On Saturday, a top Chinese military general will visit the Pentagon to see if more dialogue between the two countries can be established.
China celebrated 60 years of Communist Party governance on Oct. 1. The festivities included a parade of recent additions China’s military weapons. The government is also encouraging recent college graduates to consider joining the military to help solve part of the country’s chronic unemployment.

What this really means;
"The government is also encouraging recent college graduates to consider joining the military to help solve part of the country’s chronic unemployment."
China is gearing up for a war!
Yeah, no kidding. And they have been at it for YEARS (as have the US, France, India, Russia, et al). Total non-news.
File under "duh!"
