Asked about the U.S. and British governments accusing China of cyber attacks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that the U.S. and the U.K. have once again hyped up the so-called cyber attacks by China and imposed sanctions on Chinese individuals and entities. This is pure political manipulation. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed, and has made solemn representations to relevant parties.
Lin Jian said that China urges the United States and the United Kingdom to stop politicizing cyber security issues, stop slandering and unilaterally sanctioning China, and stop cyber attacks on China. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
He emphasized that China firmly opposes and cracks down on all forms of cyber attacks. We urge the U.S. to adopt a responsible attitude in cyberspace and not to shout about “catching the thief.”
