China has responded to claims by US national security officials,
reported by the Wall Street Journal, that Chinese and Russian hackers
broke into the US power grid, to probe security measures.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu says there was no intrusion at all. “We hope that the concerned media will
prudently deal with some groundless remarks, especially those
concerning accusations against China,” says Yu. “I have also noticed that the U.S. White House had denied the media reports.”
The state-run China Daily quoted Chinese experts who tied the whole
matter to the financial crisis, and the perceived threat from China in the
US. Beijing experts believe it is just a ploy by US politicians to
shift the media's focus from domestic issues and play up the threat
posed by China.
