BEIJING – China ratcheted up criticism Friday of the United States following back and forth charges about cyberwarfare.
A day earlier, the government responded angrily to accusations that it was directly involved in a hacking scheme designed to trick American government workers, Chinese political activists, journalists and Asian regional defense representatives into giving up their Google email passwords. "Hacking is a problem that troubles the entire world, and China has always been targeted,” Hong Lei, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said Thursday. “The Chinese government resolutely opposes hacking and any other forms of cyber-crime."
And today, Chinese newspapers picked up where the government left off, publishing an inordinate amount of commentary on the Google hacking incident. The Global Times, China’s reliably nationalistic newspaper, alone carried three separate articles on the matter.
