Lin added that there are signs that in order to receive more congressional budgetary spending and government contracts, the U.S. intelligence community and cybersecurity companies have been secretly collaborating to piece together false evidence and spread disinformation about so-called Chinese government’s support for cyberattacks against the United States.
“It’s no secret that the United States is the world’s largest source of cyberattacks and the biggest threat to cybersecurity,” Lin said.
Some in the United States have been using origin-tracing of cyberattacks as a tool to hit and frame China, claiming that the United States is the victim while it’s the other way round, and politicizing cybersecurity issues, Lin said, adding that their actions seriously harm China’s lawful rights and interests.
“China urges the United States to immediately stop its cyberattacks against China and stop smearing China,” he said.
