China Suggests US Made Up Cyber Hacking Evidence

China has suggested on Thursday that the US has just made up the evidences for the cyber espionage accusations hurled against five Chinese army officers.

China has also suggested that the US stirred up its Asian neighbors to further complicate the existing territorial disputes that China is currently involved in, according to a Reuters report cited by Fox News.

Beijing is presently locked in a territorial spat with Vietnam and is now dissuading other governments from getting involved in the issue.

Last week, the White House had filed criminal charges against the five Chinese military personnel, accusing them of hacking into the computer of several large US firms to obtain trade secrets.

Reuters quoted ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng describing how the US has the technological advantage and capability to fabricate the "so-called evidence." He added that the international community has not yet laid its eyes on the proof in question, but has only seen the conflict and difficulties being experienced by Iraqi citizens.

Geng went on to say that after the US tackled the re-balancing tactics for Asia, it used its power to "behave recklessly" and further stirred up the already-troubled situation which is muddled by territorial disputes.

Just this Wednesday, China reiterated that the US needs its help to deal with North Korea and requested American officials not to mess up their joint efforts in anti-terrorism and other sectors.

In a commentary, state-run Xinhua News Agency said US and China should not let their cyber security issues drive a wedge between the two countries' cooperation on other common interests. Xinhua also mentioned that the US needs China to fight climate change and address the existing tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Xinhua described that US not only as an "important trading" ally of China, but also a fierce anti-terrorism entity. The news firm also said China sees that the US plays an important role in eradicating terrorism worldwide, and that it also needs its help in light of the recent series of terror attacks that it has experienced.
