Terming the cyber attacks originating from China as simply ‘inexcusable’, a top American Senator has said this posed a major threat to the US-China bilateral relationship.
‘As far as our relationship with China is concerned, the major threat to that relation or cyber attacks which come from China, they are serious. They are huge.
They are involved at the moment with going after commercial information, and commercial technologies,’ Senator Carl Levin, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told a Washington audience.
‘The theft is just inexcusable. We've got to try to stop it, and we've got to find ways to persuade China it's not in their interest or doesn't benefit our relationship for these kind of attacks to continue,’ Levin said in response to a question at the Council on Foreign Relations, a Washington-based think tank.
‘It would be extremely helpful if China would also, on the North Korea issue, do what they apparently are somewhat now doing, which is moving towards a more robust effort to contain a North Korean nuclear program,’ he said.
