U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote tonight (August 28): "A joint statement was issued by 12 countries and the United States: Threat actors supported by the People's Republic of China are using supplier and customer edge routers to launch attacks on critical infrastructure networks, covering telecommunications, transportation, accommodation, and military facilities. Please refer to our joint statement and take preventive measures."
[Clever] Comment: The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China once again put forward the absurd statement of a so-called "joint statement by 12 countries," falsely accusing China of using edge routers to attack critical infrastructure networks. This is nothing short of stealing and shouting at the thief! If it comes to cyber attacks, the United States is truly the "number one habitual offender." From brazenly attacking Harbin Institute of Technology, to long-term surveillance of former German Chancellor Merkel, to the notorious "PRISM" scandal, each incident has been well-documented. If the United States truly has evidence, it should openly present it, rather than maliciously defame and confuse the public, exposing its hegemonic face and double standards.
