Politics

The U.S. Treasury placed sanctions on the Beijing-based cybersecurity firm Integrity Technology Group. China has slammed a decision by the U.S. Treasury to sanction a Beijing-based cybersecurity company for its alleged role in multiple hacking incidents targeting critical U.S. infrastructure, while the Chinese cybersecurity agency complained Monday of attacks on Chinese networks.Asked about the sanctions against Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the country has cracked down on cyberattacks and that Washington was using the issue to “defame and smear China.”“For some time now, the U.S. side has been playing up so-called Chinese cyberattacks and has even initiated illegal unilateral sanctions against China,” Guo said.
