WASHINGTON—The Obama administration reportedly is backing away from earlier plans to impose economic sanctions against China for the cyber-theft of sensitive data from U.S. government and corporate computers.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
The shift comes following meetings last weekend between senior U.S. and Chinese officials to address what U.S. officials have said is a pattern of hack attacks coming from China that target valuable intellectual property secrets and sensitive personal information.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
As first reported late last month by The Washington Post, the sanctions would have targeted Chinese individuals and corporations that allegedly have profited from the cyber-theft of data, and threatened to cast a shadow over meetings between President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington next week.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
But now the Reuters news service, citing a U.S. official who asked to remain anonymous, reports the White House will not announce any sanctions against China before Xi’s visit, and possibly not even after.<\/div>
<\/div>
Sanctions threatened<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
White House spokesman Josh Earnest, at a press briefing Tuesday, would neither confirm nor deny that the U.S. would hold off imposing sanctions before or during Xi’s visit. But he did say that sanctions remain a possibility in the future.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“I think what we know about the tool of economic sanctions is that it can serve as a pretty effective deterrent, even if it hasn’t already been implemented,” said Earnest. “Merely having this response tool in our arsenal can advance the interests of the United States.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
If imposed, these economic sanctions would have represented the first time the U.S. targeted the financial interests of foreign individuals or governments solely for actions in the cyber-sphere.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Some industry analysts had reacted coolly to the prospect of sanctions out of concerns that they could spark a backlash by Beijing.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Kevin Newmeyer, a fellow at the National Cybersecurity Institute at Excelsior College, said floating the possibility of sanctions in the press may have been a tactic by U.S. officials to exert pressure on China to address the hacking attacks.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“Diplomacy is all about signals and how those signals are received, perceived, and responded to. This was another step,” Newmeyer told VOA.<\/div>
