Secretary of State John Kerry said he will meet with Chinese leaders next week for the annual U.S.-China Economic and Security Dialogue and then hold a dinner at Mount Vernon for them.
Kerry will be hosting the Chinese at Mount Vernon, the Virginia estate of George Washington, less than three weeks after the Office of Personnel Management announced that the personnel files of some four million current and former federal employees had been hacked, reportedly by the Chinese.
The secretary of State mentioned his upcoming meetings and dinner with the Chinese at Mount Vernon specifically in response to a question about the administrations negotiations with Iran that seek to get Iran to agree to restrictions on its nuclear-related activities. The Chinese are one of the P5+1 nations that are working with the administration to negotiate with the Iranians.

Hackers working for the Chinese state breached the computer system of the Office of Personnel Management in December, U.S. officials said Thursday, and the agency will notify about 4 million current and former federal employees that their personal data may have been compromised, the Post reported in a story headlined Chinese breach data of 4 million federal workers.
In a statement updated on Monday, the OPM reported that it had discovered that additional systems were compromised.

And Mr. Kerry will be dining on a tasty dish of Crow.
With Heinz ketchup...
An in-your-face gesture to the Founding Father.
Kung Pao Traitor
Yum Yum. I see they are now offering a Mustard product.
A trifecta in-your-face gesture.
If the Chinese are hacking our systems in such a way that we not only know it happened, what was taken, and who did it then they can’t be very good at it. Wouldn’t a country want to keep their abilities in this area, I don’t know, secret?
If General Washington was alive, he would storm into this charade and whip Kerry’s buffoonish arse all the way back to Boston.
Maybe they threatened to beat him up again if he refused the “invitation”...
They will steal the wimp’s lunch money...
Since when Is Mt. Vernon a party house??
I recall on a visit to Heart Castle there was ketchup and mustard on the table, among the European treasures they looked odd.
I went to a (very memorable) wedding there, once.
Has anyone produced one shred of evidence that it was the Chinese government?
On Monday, the State Department and the Treasury Department officially announced the Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) meeting that Secretary of State Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will host for the Chinese in Washington on June 23-24.
Wonderful. I live about a mile or so from Mount Vernon. When I see the traffic tie-ups I'll know it's Horse-face and the ChiComms.
Kerry probably gave them access to begin with.
