China rejects cyberattack allegations

China has rejected accusations of hacker attacks on US software company Microsoft. The Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the European Union condemned these allegations as „groundless accusations and irresponsible“ and spoke of „slander.“ Several Chinese embassies also rejected the allegations on Tuesday, calling the US government a „world champion of malicious cyberattacks,“ local media reported. The accusations in statements from the EU and NATO were „not based on facts and evidence, but on speculation and baseless accusations,“ said the Chinese mission in Brussels.
