2nd LD-Writethru: China says cyber space needs rules and cooperation, not war
BEIJING, Mar 09, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi
on Saturday said "cyber space needs rules and cooperation, not war,"
while citing that China is vulnerable to cyber attacks and suffers
such attacks most.
Yang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of
the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top
legislature.
"The international community is closely interconnected on the
Internet, therefore cyber space needs rules and cooperation, not
war," the foreign minister said.
"We oppose to turn cyber space into another battlefield, or
capitalize on virtual reality to interfere in other countries'
internal affairs," Yang said.
China always advocates a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative
cyber space, supports relevant international rules under the
framework of the United Nations, and proposes concrete initiatives,
Yang said.
"We hope irresponsible rebuke or criticism (against China) would
end," he said.
Yang was commenting on western media reports saying that their
computer networks were under Cyber-attacks originated from China and
backed by government or military.
Late last month, U.S. cyber security firm Mandiant released a
report which alleged that a secret Chinese military unit in Shanghai
was behind years of cyber attacks against U.S. companies.
The report was followed by a wave of Western media criticism of
hacking by China.
"Those reports may have caught eyes of many people, but actually
they are built on shaky ground," Yang said.
"What is black is black, and what is white stays white. anyone who
try to fabricate or piece together a sensational story to serve
political motive will not be able to black the name of others or
whitewash themselves," he added.
He said Chinese government opposes hacker-attack activities and
laws have been promulgated to explicitly prohibit and fight such
activities.
