My embassy refutes: extremely irresponsible!

A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Belgium issued a statement to answer reporters on the so -called Chinese malicious cyber attack activity than the government.

Question: On July 18, the Belgian Foreign Minister issued a statement on behalf of the Belgian federal government, accusing Chinese hackers of "malicious attacks" than the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of National Defense, and urging China to take action on relevant actions. what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

Answer: We noticed the above statement. For example, the relevant statement of the so -called Chinese hacker's "malicious network attack" has been issued without any evidence. It is extremely serious and irresponsible behavior. On the one hand, refuse to provide factual basis, on the other hand, the Chinese have accused and deliberately discredited slander. We strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed this.

China is bright and frank on the network security issue. China has always been a firm maintenanceer of cyber security and one of the main victims of cyber attacks. According to the China National Internet Emergency Center report, in 2020, a total of about 52,000 computer malicious programs controlled by overseas control the server controlled about 5.31 million hosts in China, which caused serious seriousness in China's national security, economic and social development, and people's normal production and life of the people. harm. China has always resolutely opposed and cracking down on any form of cyber attacks, and it will not encourage, support, or condone hacking attacks. The network space is strong, difficult to trace, and has diverse behaviors. There should be complete and sufficient evidence when investigating and qualitative network events. With an unprecedented accusation of other countries, the politicization and stigma of network security issues not only help to improve network security, but will weaken mutual trust between countries and affect the normal cooperation between countries in this field. If for example, whether other countries accuse other countries at will, can other countries also doubt that the Internet attacks that their country receives have hackers from Belgium?

Cyber ​​security is a global issue. It is related to the common interests of countries and needs to be maintained by the international community. China has always advocated that the international community should jointly maintain the security of network space through dialogue cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. We are willing to work together with all parties to create a community of digital destiny together. In September 2020, China launched the Global Data Security Initiative, which clearly proposed that countries oppose the use of information technology to destroy key infrastructure or steal important data. We look forward to participating in the initiative, including Belgium, to make clear commitments on network security issues, and jointly create a peaceful, secure, open, and cooperative network space.
