In response to recent sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department against a Beijing-based cybersecurity firm over hacking allegations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that China firmly opposes what it describes as the U.S.'s exaggeration of so-called Chinese cyberattacks. During a routine press conference, Guo emphasized that China would take necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests. He reiterated Beijing's stance against unilateral sanctions, labeling them as illegal. This statement follows the U.S. government's actions, which China views as part of a broader pattern of foreign interference and cyber threats against its national security.
