My novel would have the US government aware of the attack but would not publicize for fear that the public would demand retaliation.

Or concern that thin-skinned Chinese 'leaders' might up the ante (if they knew for sure that we knew) and move their plans forward by a year or two... In my novel American leaders would use the time they're pretending 'not to know' to their advantage... getting their ducks in a row, planning stuff only we can do.

We didn't become the strongest power the world has ever seen by allowing psychopathic 'leaders' of hellholes to push us around.
