China calls for end to ‘anti-China political farce’, saying claims it was to blame for MoD data hack ‘malicious slanders’The Chinese embassy in the UK has now issued a statement saying that claims Beijing was behind the Ministry of Defence data hack are “completely fabricated and malicious slanders”. An embassy spokesperson said:
The so-called cyber-attacks by China against the UK are completely fabricated and malicious slanders.
We strongly oppose such accusations. China has always firmly fought all forms of cyber-attack according to law.
China does not encourage, support or condone cyber-attacks. At the same time, we oppose the politicisation of cybersecurity issues and the baseless denigration of other countries without factual evidence.
China has always upheld the principle of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs. China has neither the interest nor the need to meddle in the internal affairs of the UK.
We urge the relevant parties in the UK to stop spreading false information, stop fabricating so-called China threat narratives, and stop their anti-China political farce.
