TREE NEWS update: China’s Foreign Ministry on October 9 rejected US claims that seven internet domains tied to Chinese hackers were seized over attempted intrusions into critical infrastructure. Spokesperson Mao Ning said Beijing opposes hacking and the spread of disinformation for political ends, adding that cybersecurity is a shared concern of both countries. She urged Washington to drop double standards and resolve the issue through equal dialogue.
China Rejects US Hacking Allegations, Says Cybersecurity a Shared Concern
The exchange keeps cyber risk framed as a state-to-state dispute rather than a technical or criminal matter, which matters for how infrastructure operators and exchanges treat the threat surface. Beijing's counter-framing — shared concern, double standards, equal dialogue — signals the issue will stay in diplomatic channels rather than any joint enforcement track. The open question is whether either side moves from allegation and denial toward a working mechanism, or whether the tit-for-tat continues without one.
