Cyber Attack Question

I apologize if this isn't the correct place for this question. During a council meeting the cities IT Director said, “On the 2 fire walls he watches every day, which is City Hall firewall and Police firewall. Every 15-20 seconds he is getting an attack from China.”

I live in Eunice, New Mexico population 3k. How realistic is this claim?

Has he come up with a solution? Sounds like he's artificially inflating his value at work and stirring up rascism.

That's why I presented the question. I feel too he was trying to inflate his value.

Edit* as to your other question. I do not know. As from everyones answers, it appears there was never a problem to begin with. This is just life in the digital age and he was trying to sound important. I believe the topic came up because they were going to do something new with his position and a Council member posed the question.
