China has firmly rejected U.S. accusations of state-linked cyberattacks, calling them a 'groundless political stunt' in the latest digital diplomacy drama. 💻🔥 A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson slammed claims by the U.S. Department of the Treasury that 'Chinese government-backed hackers' breached its systems this month.
🗣️ Spokesperson Mao Ning fired back during a press briefing: 'China opposes all cyberattacks and rejects baseless smears. These claims lack evidence and aim to distract from America’s own cybersecurity failures.' The heated exchange comes amid rising tensions over tech sovereignty and digital espionage.
🌍 Tech analysts warn the accusations could further strain U.S.-China relations, already rocky over trade and AI dominance. While Washington points fingers, Beijing insists it’s committed to being a 'responsible global player' in cyberspace. 🔐 Who’s telling the truth? For now, it’s a high-stakes game of digital 'Among Us' with no emergency meeting in sight.
