Question: On April 16, Canadian Centre for Cyber Security claimed in a news release that China threat actor activity, including activity associated to SALT TYPHOON is increasing. What is China’s response?

Answer: In spite of China’s repeated and solemn representations, the Canadian side has once again smeared and discredited China in connection with the so-called “cyber threat” activity. China firmly opposes this and will never accept it.

China is one of the major victims of cyberatacks, and resolutely opposes and combats all forms of cyberattacks in accordance with the law, and is firmly committed to safeguarding cyber security. China urges the Canadian side to immediately stop the wrongful practice of politicizing and stigmatizing the issue of cyber security, and to cease its unwarranted attacks and smearing of China.
