On 25 March, the UK government made the groundless accusation that China had carried out cyberattacks against the UK, and announced sanctions on two Chinese individuals and one Chinese entity. In response to this, the Chinese Embassy in the UK issued a statement, strongly condemning the UK's sinister action. The statement reads as follows:
The UK's claim that China was responsible for malicious cyber campaigns targeting the UK is completely unfounded and constitutes malicious slander. We firmly oppose and strongly condemn this and have made a serious dmarche to the UK side.
China is a major victim of cyberattacks. We have firmly fought and stopped all kinds of malicious cyber activities in accordance with the law, and have never encouraged, supported or condoned cyberattacks. The UK's hype-up of the so-called "Chinese cyber attacks" without basis and the announcement of sanctions is outright political manipulation and malicious slander.
China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs. We have no interest or need to meddle in the UK's internal affairs. Whether the British government is good or bad, the British people will come to a conclusion sooner or later.
The UK falsely accused China of attempting to interfere with UK democracy. This is nothing more than a publicity stunt. This is also a typical example of a thief crying "catch thief".
China has always stood against illegal unilateral sanctions and will make a justified and necessary response to this.
We strongly urge the UK to immediately stop spreading false information about China, stop such self-staged, anti-China farces, and refrain from going further down the wrong path that leads only to failure.
