The Chinese government on Monday denied any involvement in the recent cyberattack that has target human-rights activists’ e-mail accounts. But despite strong urges by the United States government to conduct probe in incident, China has remained firm in its implementation of the “Green Dam” program, which added tension to the bilateral relations of the two countries.
In an interview, a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spokesperson said that China has remained true to its policy on Internet hacking, saying that it is transparent and consistent with the international laws.
“Any form of accusations that says the Chinese government played a part or was involved in the cyberattacks, even in an explicit or indirect way, is groundless. It is only aimed to discredit the government and China itself,” the spokesperson who requested anonymity said.
“We are firmly against Internet hacking or any forms of cyberattacks,” the official added.
Likewise, various Chinese government agencies familiar with the matter defended its Internet regulations, saying that it is legal and that the US should not interfere in the domestic affairs of Beijing.
The Chinese government issued the statement two weeks after Google Inc said that it is pulling out of China. The Internet giant said that China should tone down its Internet grip to give a more business-friendly environment.
Google earlier bared several incidents of cyberattacks that targeted human-rights activists who were against China’s policies. Some 20 other companies were not spared by the attacks, which intended to gather information about the people who are vocal against China.
Meanwhile, the US State Department said that they are now finalizing the complaints that they will file against Chinese officials as soon as the Google issue settled down.
It will be recalled that US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton asked China to probe to computer attacks against the online giant as she criticize the country for engaging Internet search censorship.
