タグ: “U.S.-China Cyber-Spying”

 

China and the U.S have traded accusations over Chinese defense capabilities, intentions and alleged lack of transparency outlined in a U.S. Defense Department report issued on May 6, 2013. Allegations of cyber- spying were also a focus of the controversy. The report, entitled Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China 2013 is issued annually by the U.S. Department of Defense.

 In one response, reported by China’s CCTV, Wang Xinjun a researcher with the Academy of Military Sciences of the People’s Liberation Army said such accusations are irresponsible and they harm joint China-U.S mutual trust. 

 China’s PlA daily, quoting Xinuha, reported that a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman expressed “strong dissatisfaction with” and “firm opposition to” the report. (DP)
