According to a Reuters report on the 9th, a joint report prepared by the cyber security agencies of the US, UK and other seven countries, led by the Australian Cyber Security Center, falsely claimed that, aPT40, a Chinese government-backed hacker group, is carrying out what it calls malicious cyber attacks. The Wall Street Journal said it was a“Rare” joint effort by Western governments. Experts interviewed by the Global Times said the report’s content was not credible, and that using cybersecurity issues to smear China was a tactic with clear implications.
The Wall Street Journal reported that in addition to the Australian lead, participants include the Five Eyes Alliance intelligence-sharing group-the United States, Britain, Canada and New Zealand, then there are Germany, Japan and South Korea. The report said that this is the first time that Japan and South Korea have blamed China for malicious cyber activities. Another person familiar with the matter said that this is also the first time that Australia has taken the lead in such actions, australia has previously been reluctant to point the finger at China, its biggest trading partner. Several foreign media used the phrase“The US and its allies accuse China” when reporting on the incident.
Liang Huaixin, a researcher at the Beijing University of International Business and Economics National Security and Governance Institute, told the Global Times on the 10th that behind the so-called “Rare” operation, is the United States and related countries have been strategic smears on China, trying to kidnap the western people to form the so-called strategic alliance with China. In an election year around the world, the United States and its allies are seeking political capital and ulterior motives as they seek to discredit China.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Mars said in a statement that the australian-led report was aimed at protecting the country’s organisations and individuals in the area of cyber security. However, Chen Hong, director of the East China Normal University Australian research center, told the Global Times on the 10th that the NATO summit opened in Washington on the 9th, the report was clearly intended to“Set the mood” for the summit. The Australian Prime Minister did not attend the NATO summit, sending Mars instead, and the report was “Coincidentally” interpreted by Mars as “Very tactical”.

On July 9, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that the relevant parties once again used“Chinese cyber attacks” to stir up hot pot and smear China with cyber security issues. China firmly opposes this. In fact, over a period of time, Chinese authorities have published several analytical and investigative reports, including the APT organization analysis report on the United States, revealing in detail that the United States has been spreading false information for a long time, stir Up” China network attack threat theory”, on the one hand and by virtue of hegemonic position and technical advantage in the global network wiretapping.
The China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, the National Engineering Laboratory of Computer Virus Technology and 360 Digital Security Group have jointly released a special report, for the first time, this paper analyzes the real source of the so-called“Typhoon Volta” organization, and reveals the true face of the organization’s extortion of virus criminal gangs and the behind-the-scenes truth of the side’s hype on China.
Lin Jian said that on the 8th, we just on the U. S. hyped“Typhoon Volta” to carry out false information operations against China to take a position, 9 to see hyped“China’s cyber attacks” news. This kind of coincidence can not help but make people wonder whether there are some countries behind the manipulation, a diversion. “We advise the relevant parties to keep their eyes open and distinguish right from wrong, and not to take the chestnuts out of other countries’ fire and end up benefiting others at the expense of themselves.”
Liang Huaixin said that in recent years, the United States and other Western countries have hyped up the false narrative about China and constructed an elaborate“Lie” through a variety of so-called evidence cobbled together, then hope that the parties around this false narrative to start a narrative struggle. As for the so-called details disclosed by the Australian side, if the“China” was replaced by any other country, it would not affect the“Story” and“The report is not credible”.
