The Journal report is based on unnamed sources familiar with the meeting. They indicated the Chinese were apparently warning the U.S. away from continued support of Taiwan.
Dakota Cary, a China specialist at the cybersecurity firm SentinelOne, told the Journal, "A Chinese official would likely only acknowledge the intrusions even in a private setting if instructed to do so by the top levels of Xi's [President Xi Jinping's] government."

This goes beyond the normal espionage used by hostile powers. The story does not indicate what countermeasures the US used to deal with the threat.
