China Dismisses Claims of State-Sponsored Cyberattacks
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed new multinational cybersecurity advisories alleging state-sponsored cyberattacks on sensitive networks and infrastructure as disinformation driven by political agendas. This response highlights ongoing tensions regarding cyber operations attribution and the geopolitical friction surrounding it. The situation underscores the uncertainty for India and regional actors concerning the scale of Chinese cyber activities, particularly in critical sectors like communications and defense. As cyber threats escalate across Asia, Beijing’s public denials may shape corporate risk assessments and diplomatic narratives, reflecting a complex landscape where cybersecurity is intertwined with broader international relations and strategic interests.
