China accuses Cisco of supporting US cyberwar efforts

China is attacking secret surveillance programs of the U.S. government with harsh words from its state-controlled press, accusing Cisco of helping the U.S. in cyberespionage.

The criticisms come a week after the U.S. indicted five Chinese military personnel for allegedly hacking into several U.S. companies for trade secrets. It marks the first time the U.S. has tried to criminally charge China for state-sponsored cyberattacks. But so far, the indictments have done more to damage relations between the two nations, compelling China to accuse the U.S. of hypocrisy with its own spying programs.

China hit back again Monday when state-controlled media released a government report about the “unscrupulous” U.S. surveillance activities.

“These operations have flagrantly breached International laws,” said the report, adding, “They deserve to be rejected and condemned by the whole world.”
