BEJING, May 25 Washington is spreading fake news about China's alleged hacking attacks, but that won't change the fact that the US is hacker empire, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a briefing on Thursday.
Commenting on reports that a Chinese hacker group allegedly attacked key US infrastructure, Mao Ning noted that messages with this information were simultaneously published by the US National Security Agency and similar organizations in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. According to her, it is obvious that this is a collective action of the Five Eyes alliance to spread disinformation, carried out at the suggestion of the United States in their geopolitical interests.
«As we all know, the Five Eyes Alliance is the largest intelligence organization in the world, and the US National Security Agency is the largest hacking organization in the world. The fact that they jointly publish fake information is ironic in itself,» she said. Mao Ning.
According to her, the fact that various companies (for example, Microsoft) are involved in the distribution of such messages indicates that the United States is expanding channels for the dissemination of fake information.
“This is not the first time this has happened, and obviously not the last. But no matter how they change their methods, the fact that the US is a hacker empire will remain unchanged,” the diplomat said.
According to her, Washington should immediately clarify its cyberattacks, and not spread fakes to divert attention.
