“China’s government is against any form of cyberattacks, we are committed to the cooperation with other countries and to a common support and protection of cyberspace. China and the United States have high-level mechanisms for such issues…. We believe that it is necessary to stick to the opportunities to cooperate rather than point fingers at each other,” Lu Kang told a regular press briefing.
