AFP: The Harbin Public Security Bureau said today they implicated 3 U.S. agents in cyber attacks during the Asian Winter Games earlier this year. I just wonder if the Ministry would like to comment on this case.

Lin Jian: We have noted the report, and have repeatedly made clear China’s position. During the 9th Asian Winter Games, the U.S. government launched cyber attacks on the information system of the Games and critical information infrastructure in Heilongjiang Province, causing grave harm to the security of China’s critical information infrastructure, national defense, finance, society, production and citizen’s personal information. China condemns the malicious cyber operations conducted by the U.S. government, which is truly egregious.

China has raised clear concerns to the U.S. through various means on its cyber attacks against China’s critical infrastructure. China urges the U.S. to adopt a responsible attitude on cybersecurity, stop conducting cyber attacks against China, and stop groundless vilification and attack against China. China will continue to take what is necessary to safeguard its own cybersecurity.
