U.S. intelligence agencies are found to have colluded to fraud, and China urges stop smearing
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosts a regular press conference on April 15. A journalist asks:On April 15, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center of China published a report "Volta Typhoon - US Intelligence Agencies' Cooperative Fraudulent Operation Targeting US Congress and US Taxpayers", done in cooperation with 360 Company. What is China's comment on the relevant report?
Lin Jian claimed that various signs indicated that U.S. intelligence agencies and cybersecurity companies colluded to fabricate so-called "evidence" and spread the false information that the Chinese government supported cyber attacks against the U.S. to gain congressional budget appropriations and government contracts.
Lin Jian pointed out that it is well known that the United States is the largest source of cyber attacks and the greatest threat to cybersecurity. For some time, some people in the United States have been crying “thief” and accusing others of theft, using the tracing of cyber attacks as a tool to suppress China and politicizing cybersecurity issues, which has seriously infringed upon China's legitimate rights and interests. China urges the US to immediately stop cyber attacks on China and to stop slandering and smearing China.
