The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, stressed that such statements have no evidence. "This is nothing but slander and vilification. We demand that representatives of the British side stop their baseless manipulations," the diplomat said.
According to him, Beijing opposes all forms of cybercrime and always adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. Lin Jian noted that such accusations harm international cooperation in the field of cybersecurity and are used as a tool of political pressure.
Earlier, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that hackers linked to China could gain access to critical infrastructure facilities in the UK. According to the publication, the attacks allegedly affected defense enterprises, the energy sector and government agencies.
