I noticed that the headline is slightly different when the US accuses China. It'd be more like: "FBI says China hacked Microsoft". It's subtle. But the headline in this article sounds like like China is falsely accusing the US but the other example creates more credibility.

I apologize to those who only want to discuss about the content but I'm trained in media literacy and I can't unsee these things.

If I remember correctly, in the Economist style guide, they recommend using the country's capital as the actor when a government does something (e.g. Washington has announced sanctions against X, Beijing accuses Washington of hacking). In fact, that article does just that in the third paragraph. What valid reason could there be to change the title to "China vs US", is that entirely malicious?

Here are some real headlines from Bloomberg. I'm not changing my original stance. Bloomberg tries to make US hacking China sound like revenge accusations. Meanwhile, Bloomberg will usually put a source or direct entity behind China hacking US, making it sound more credible. It's subtle but effective.
