China News Service, Beijing, June 15 (Reporter Guo Chaokai Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on the 15th.

　　A reporter asked: According to media reports, the new information security media "An Zai" recently released a report stating that the Access Technology Operations Office (TAO) under the US National Security Agency continues to conduct indiscriminate data theft against Internet users around the world.

The United States and the use of submarines to conduct cyber theft of submarine optical cables and cables around the world.

TAO has handed over cyber attack weapons to the United States and the "Five Eyes" countries. The British government has used EU telecom operators to steal secrets from the EU headquarters.

In addition, the U.S. government requires U.S. Internet companies to cooperate with the development and manufacture of cyber weapons, and to develop attack weapons against Chinese telecommunications equipment.

What is China's comment?

　　Wang Wenbin: We have noticed relevant reports.

The report once again shows that, not only for China, but for the world, the United States has become the primary threat in the field of cybersecurity.

　　The materials disclosed in the report show that the United Kingdom and other "Five Eyes" and some European countries' network agencies have assisted and participated in the United States' global cyber-espionage operations.

This shows that the United States is creating a "cyber theft axis" with beauty at its core.

　　It is worth noting that the report pointed out that some U.S. Internet software and hardware companies participated in the development and manufacture of U.S. cyber weapons throughout the process.

Not long ago, China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center also issued a report stating, "As long as the existing international Internet backbone network and important critical information infrastructure around the world contain software and hardware provided by American companies, it is very likely to be embedded in various 'backdoors' and thus become the target of US government cyberattacks."

It is not difficult to see that the US uses the so-called national security as an excuse to smear and suppress Chinese companies. The real purpose is to open the door to the US's irresponsible cyber-theft activities.

　　China urges the US to immediately stop malicious cyber activities targeting the world and take a more responsible attitude in cyberspace.
