China News Service, June 30. According to the official WeChat news of the Ministry of National Defense, on the afternoon of June 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and Ministry of National Defense spokesman Colonel Tan Kefei said when answering a reporter's question, From "Prism Gate", "Anger Horn Project" and "Starwind Project", to "Operation Telescreen", "Hive" platform and quantum attack system, it turns out that the United States is a veritable Matrix Empire, an empire of eavesdropping, and an empire of secret stealing.
A reporter asked: According to foreign media reports, the commander of the US Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency recently admitted that the United States sent "offensive" cyber forces to Ukraine and launched cyber attacks against Russia.
According to the US "Army Times" report, the number of US Army network and electronic warfare forces will be greatly expanded.
What is China's comment?
Tan Kefei said that we have noticed relevant reports.
As a victim of cyber attacks and an active advocate of building a peaceful, safe, open and cooperative cyberspace, China is highly concerned about this irresponsible and dangerous behavior.
Tan Kefei pointed out that for a long time, the United States has violated international law and basic norms of international relations by conducting large-scale, organized and indiscriminate cyber theft, surveillance and attacks on foreign governments, enterprises and individuals.
From "Prism Gate", "Anger Horn Project" and "Starwind Project", to "Operation Telescreen", "Hive" platform and quantum attack system, it turns out that the United States is a veritable Matrix Empire, an empire of eavesdropping, and an empire of secret stealing.
In recent years, the U.S. side has spared no effort to promote the militarization of cyberspace. The U.S. Department of Defense released the "Cyber Security Strategy Report" to adjust the "active defense" to a more offensive "pre-defense". The transformation of network weapons into actual combat, creating a systematic network attack platform and a standardized attack equipment library.
Network hegemony cannot bring "absolute security".
Seeking absolute security for oneself at the expense of violating other countries’ cyber sovereignty and information security is a typical double standard and zero-sum game thinking, which can easily lead to a cyber arms race and undermine global strategic stability.
Tan Kefei said that we call on the international community to jointly resist cyber hegemony and oppose an arms race in cyberspace.
China will take necessary measures to resolutely defend national cyber sovereignty and information security.
