‘Important consensus’ after US talks on cyber security
Print Edition
CHINA and the United States have reached an important consensus on combating cyber crimes, according to Xinhua news agency.
Senior US and Chinese officials met for four days to discuss cyber security and other issues ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington later this month.
Cyber security has been a divisive issue between Washington and Beijing, with the US accusing Chinese hackers of attacks on US computers, a charge China denies.
The discussions included a “frank and open exchange about cyber issues” between US National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Meng Jianzhu, secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China, the White House said at the weekend.
Meng also had talks with FBI Director James Comey and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who convened a meeting between the Chinese delegation and representatives from the FBI, the intelligence community and the State, Treasury and Justice departments.
Xinhua said that Meng, who is the country’s domestic security chief, had reached an “important consensus” with the US during his visit.
Both countries agree it is “vital” they cooperate on fighting hacking, Meng said, adding that China will punish anyone who hacks from within China’s borders or steals corporate secrets.
“China’s position on opposing hacking and stealing commercial secrets online is resolute,” Xinhua cited Meng as saying.
