PLA to tighten cyberspace security after reports of US hacking

Main karoon toh saala Character Dheela hai


The Chinese military will increase cyberspace security after reports of US cyber espionage against China, defense ministry spokesperson Geng Yansheng said on Thursday.

"The reports of US surveillance activities targeting Chinese government departments, companies and individuals reflects US hypocrisy and hegemony," Geng Yansheng said at a monthly briefing on Thursday.

On Saturday, the New York Times and German magazine Der Spiegel reported that the US had spied on Chinese telecoms firm Huawei, citing classified documents provided to journalists by former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.Der Spiegel also reported that the NSA was targeting China's political leadership.

Geng said that while US accusations of China's cyber espionage had been proven to be "sheer fiction," the Chinese military will take substantive and effective measures to prevent falling victim to such hacking itself.
