Washington espionage claims blasted

China Daily  

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning. US officials are privately delivering an unusual warning to telecommunications companies including Google and Meta that undersea cables that ferry internet traffic across the Pacific Ocean "could be vulnerable to tampering by Chinese repair ships", The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Submarine Systems, that helps repair international cables, appeared to be hiding its vessels' locations from radio and satellite tracking services, which the officials and others said defied easy explanation. China firmly opposes the US practice of overstretching the concept of national security to attack and smear Chinese enterprises, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Monday. The US government has deliberately discredited and oppressed telecommunications companies in China and around the world, aiming to create a global surveillance network dominated by the US with no rival and under no oversight, so as to leave a door open for its blatant eavesdropping and espionage, she said.
