The United States has repeatedly courted regional countries and used “cyber security” as an excuse to smear China for geopolitical purposes, and the Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes this, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday in Beijing.
Speaking in a daily press briefing, Lin was responding to a media query concerning a joint statement by Paraguay’s Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and the U.S. Embassy in Paraguay falsely accusing China of conducting malicious cyber activities against the Paraguayan government.
“China is against hacking and combats it in accordance with the law. We are firmly against politically-motivated disinformation concerning cybersecurity. The United States has long engaged in systemic global cyber attacks and meanwhile making other countries join the U.S. in slandering China on cybersecurity only to advance the U.S. own geopolitical agenda. China strongly deplores and firmly rejects this. We urge those countries not to be used as geopolitical tools and accomplice of the U.S. government in spreading the ‘Chinese cyber attack’ disinformation,'” said Lin.
