The fun part is they don't know the extent of the comprise or how long it has been going on.

What happened is that CISA recently published a report stating that they think a lot of US telecommunications equipment has been compromised. It isn't a one time breach. They know that China has control over a unspecified amount of critical components. The malware China is using is extremely complex and very hard if not completely impossible to detect. China is very good at covering there tracks so even getting a sample of Malware is hard.

Because of all this, CISA is now recommending that people use encrypted messagers.

It not about one breach

CISA recently published a report stating that they think a lot of US telecommunications equipment has been compromised. It isn't a one time breach. They know that China has control over a unspecified amount of critical components. The malware China is using is extremely complex and very hard if not completely impossible to detect. China is very good at covering there tracks so even getting a sample of Malware is hard. They are constantly evolving and adapting it so it is very tricky to pinpoint and clean systems.

Because of all this, CISA is now recommending that people use encrypted messagers. Usually the government wants unfeathered access to data so that's how you know it is very bad.
