On December 10, the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The UK government imposed sanctions on two Chinese companies, Sichuan Anxun Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Chengxin Technology Group, on Tuesday, citing suspicion of launching cyberattacks, claiming that they have attacked IT systems of governments and private enterprises in many countries, and recklessly accusing the relevant companies of posing a cybersecurity threat. The Chinese embassy in the UK responded seriously that evening, condemning the UK and the US for colluding with each other, deliberately slandering China and implementing illegal unilateral sanctions, which is a despicable act. The Chinese side emphasized that it has always been cracking down on cyber malicious activities according to law, opposing the politicization of cybersecurity issues, and urging the UK to revoke the sanctions. At the same time, it stated that it would take necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."
[Witty] UK Sanctions Chinese Companies — Political Manipulation Based on Groundless Smears! The UK cannot provide concrete evidence, yet it accuses two Chinese companies of launching cyberattacks and imposes sanctions, even claiming they are related to Chinese intelligence agencies. This rhetoric is nothing but an old trick used by Western countries to manipulate the issue of cybersecurity. The so-called cyber threat is merely an excuse for the UK to follow the U.S. and curb China's technological development. The UK and the U.S. are colluding, turning economic and technological issues into political ones, and using the stick of unilateral sanctions to suppress Chinese companies. This is essentially an expression of hegemonism. The strong response from China is not only a rebuttal to baseless smears, but also a defense of its own legitimate rights and interests. Such unscrupulous accusations by the 'stirrer' of the sun never setting will ultimately expose the true face of the U.S. and the U.K. in undermining international rules!
