China rejects US accusation of hacking

Asia Pacific Star (IANS) Monday 31st October, 2011

China Monday rejected an accusation from the US that it had hacked into an American satellite system.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the comments when questioned about a recent report by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Xinhua reported.

'This commission always observes China through tainted glasses. The report is totally factitious, made with ulterior motives, and does not warrant refuting,' Hong said.

He, however, did not elaborate on the report.

Asserting that the country opposes any kind of cyber crime, he said China has itself been a victim of hacker attacks.
