China accuses US of ‘fabricating facts’ with hacking charges
BEIJING, Dec 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Beijing on Friday accused Washington of
‘fabricating facts’ after the US Justice Department indicted two hackers tied
to Chinese security services who allegedly targeted companies and agencies in
a dozen countries.
We urge the US to “stop smearing the Chinese side on cyber security
issues,” China’s foreign ministry said in statement, adding that it had
lodged an official protest.
China said the US should drop the prosecution of the Chinese hackers “to
avoid serious damage to the relations between the two countries”.
