My Embassy in the UK: The UK hypes up the so-called "cyber threat" from China, which is a typical case of thieves shouting and catching thieves
Embassy spokesperson: The so-called report on China by the relevant committees of the British Parliament is unfounded, fabricating facts, and maliciously smearing China. China has previously clarified its solemn position. The UK government's response to such a false report is baseless, deliberately smearing China, and is completely political manipulation. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it.
China's diplomacy has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and we have no need or interest in conducting intelligence gathering activities or so-called "infiltration" or "interference" with Britain. China is a staunch defender of cybersecurity and one of the main victims of cyber theft and attacks. The UK hypes up the so-called "cyber threat" from China, which is a typical case of thieves shouting to catch thieves. The UK government's unprincipled adherence to the so-called China related reports fabricated by politicians with ulterior motives will only make people laugh and seriously damage its international reputation.
We urge the British side to respect objective facts, stop anti China political manipulation, stop spreading rumors that defame China, and stop creating obstacles for the development of Sino British relations.
