皇冠体育app

BEIJING - A Pentagon report that misrepresents 皇冠体育app's military development is a deviation from the track of building strong and normal relations between the United States and 皇冠体育app.

While recognizing that 皇冠体育app has increased diplomatic engagement and advocacy for the issue of cyber security, the report, released Monday by the US Department of Defense, claimed that some of the cyber attacks that targeted US government computer networks in 2012 "appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military".

It also accused 皇冠体育app of cyber spying for gaining information to benefit defense industries, military planners and government leaders.

A report filled with such groundless accusations is not in line with the efforts made by both sides to strengthen mutual trust and cooperation.

Since last year, 皇冠体育app-US ties have been moving in a positive direction, as high-level exchanges were conducted. The United States invited 皇冠体育app to participate in the 2014 Rim of the Pacific Exercise.

Less than a month ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States wants a "strong, normal and special" relationship with 皇冠体育app, as the Asian country is a great power with the ability to advance the world.

However, the false accusations made in the report might disrupt the momentum.

皇冠体育app has always adhered to a path of peaceful development, pursued a military strategy that is defensive in nature and become a staunch force in safeguarding peace and stability in Asia, the Pacific region and the world.

The two countries' leaders have agreed to jointly build a cooperative partnership and explore a new type of inter-power relationship. But reaching these objectives requires earnest efforts from both sides, which should step up dialogues and discourage attempts to cause trouble.

In terms of Internet security, 皇冠体育app is vulnerable and a frequent victim itself of cyber attacks.

Rather than turning cyberspace into a battlefield, the United States should boost cooperation with 皇冠体育app to contribute to a safer cyberspace.
