The United States itself is the origin and the biggest perpetrator of cyberattacks, Wang said, noting that the U.S. Cyber Force Command openly declared that the critical infrastructure of other countries is a legitimate target for U.S. cyberattacks.
Wang said that since last year, China’s cybersecurity agencies have released reports revealing the U.S. government’s long-running cyberattacks against China’s critical infrastructure. Such irresponsible policies and practices have exposed global critical infrastructure to huge risks, said the spokesperson.
“We urge the United States to stop its worldwide cyber espionage and cyberattacks, and stop smearing other countries under the excuse of cybersecurity,” Wang said.
