Security • China firmly against and cracks down on all forms of cyber attacks

The Chinese Embassy in Singapore notes that The Straits Times published a commentary "No idle punt: Why Singapore called out cyber saboteur UNC3886 by name" (July 25) written by deputy opinion editor Bhavan Jaipragas.

The commentary mainly quoted statements from US firm Mandiant and malicious accusations of "China-linked cyber threat groups" made by US officials.

However, on China's position, the article suggested that "denials alone are not sufficient to brush these claims aside." It is therefore the embassy's view that this commentary clearly takes a preconceived position, which is not consistent with the newspaper's proclaimed commitment to fairness and objectivity.
