"When Alan Turing cracked the Enigma code during the Second World War, neither the United Kingdom nor the United States immediately published a paper announcing the achievement. Instead, they kept it to themselves so they could keep reading Nazi messages encrypted using Engima machines. Last month, in contrast, Chinese academics from government-run laboratories and research organizations published a paper claiming to have developed a new mathematical strategy to break RSA encryption, today’s standard.

If the Chinese government can crack RSA encryption, then they can break into every U.S. government and private sector system, seeing and exfiltrating anything and everything, achieving true information dominance over Washington and its allies and partners.

There are reasons to doubt the accuracy of the paper’s claims, however, and even more reasons to question why Chinese researchers would show their hand if they really cracked our codes."

No need to tell anyone. Ever since 911 in 2000, US mandated NSA to install automatic reader machines to screen all email accounts used by users from all over the world in news servers and email servers, that set up, operated, stored, and run by Western media in US.

The reader machine connected their servers runs 24/7 will read and picked up any clue of statement, word, icon, slogan, and codes etc. They can, unknown to user, extract, copy, alter, and replaced it back, too. They can screen email automatically and read-picked and segregated suspicious word, statement, for further research reading, scrutiny, monitoring, examination, and classification, and disposal of case.

They can also tap voice messages in email and SMS, and tap conversation on phone calls. They can tap road and pavement cameras of people of interests, too. They can also read and screen forums and articles in servers by media owners. Therefore, they ever tell anyone of what they were doing in prying, nosing, and eyeing the privacy of emails, forums, blogs, news, and others, etc.

So, in short, no need to tell them too.
