China condemns US over cyber security accusations

One has to wonder how a person, or government, can live spouting such
obvious lies as these: "The report makes groundless accusations about
China, and we resolutely oppose it."
-------
The Chinese government has issued a strong condemnation of a new US cyber
security strategy document which, among other things, singles out Beijing
for carrying out cyber espionage against American companies and government
agencies. In a press briefing, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Geng
Yansheng said: "We are following the new US cyber security strategy and
[are] concerned about it... The report makes groundless accusations about
China, and we resolutely oppose it."

Geng said China had also been the victim of cyber attacks, and accused the
US of double standards. "We oppose turning cyberspace into a new
battlefield," Xin Hua state news agency quoted Geng as saying. There are
reports, however, of a huge Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on
an online community which hosts tools to help Chinese internet users
circumvent state censorship which suggests the use of malware-infected
computers by the Chinese government.
