RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., June 8 (Reuters) – U.S. President

Barack Obama called on his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to

acknowledge the threat posed by “cyber-enabled espionage”

against the United States and investigate the problem, Obama’s

national security adviser said on Saturday.

Thomas Donilon told reporters that Obama raised specific

types of hacking that the United States was concerned about,

adding that China now understood the depth of U.S. worries about

the problem.
