China continues to deny carrying out cyberattacks against US

China again denied that it has used cyberattacks to steal American military and business secrets, following new accusations leveled this week.

“China opposes all forms of cyberattacks. China is also a victim of hacking,” said Assistant Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang during a press briefing previewing Chinese President Xi Jinping’s meeting with President Obama next week. Zheng noted that China and the United States have agreed to set up a working group to regularly discuss the issue.
