CHINA'S foreign minister yesterday rejected accusations that the country's military was behind massive hacking attacks on the United States and other foreign targets, and called for more international cooperation in policing the Internet.
"What is black is black, and what is white stays white. Anyone who tries to fabricate a sensational story to serve political motives will not be able to blacken the name of others or whitewash themselves," Yang Jiechi told a news conference on the sidelines of the ongoing session of China's top legislature, the National People's Congress, in Beijing.
"We hope the relevant parties will stop irresponsible attacks and accusations."
Yang was commenting on Western media reports saying that computer networks came under cyber attacks originating from China and backed by the government or military.
"Those reports may have caught the eye of people, but are built on shaky ground," Yang said.
He said the Chinese government opposes hacking attacks and has laws to stop such activities.
"The international community is closely interconnected on the Internet, therefore, cyberspace needs rules and cooperation, not war," the foreign minister said.
