发帖数: 33885 | 2 SINGAPORE — Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel took China to task for alleged
cyber-espionage on Saturday, drawing a sharp response from a Chinese
general who questioned whether America’s growing military presence in Asia
is anything more than an affront to Beijing’s rise.
Delivering the keynote speech at the Shangri-La Security Dialogue, Hagel
said the U.S. is “clear-eyed about the challenges in cyber,” and echoed
past administration assertions that the “growing threat of cyber-intrusions
,” targeting U.S. government and industry portals “appear to be tied to
the Chinese government and military.”
It was the latest public charge from the Obama administration, which has
concluded that calling out China publicly could curb what U.S. officials
call a brazen and sophisticated quest for American secrets stored online.
“We are determined to work more vigorously with China and other partners to
establish international norms of responsible behavior in cyberspace,”
Hagel said in a conference hall packed with Asian military officials.
China has denied Washington’s accusations, most pointedly last week, when
it said it did not need to steal American military hardware blueprints
because it was more than capable of producing its own. |
