He said China will take the necessary measures to improve the security of its own network.
At the usual press conference on that day, a reporter asked: According to reports, the China National Internet Emergency Response Center recently released a report on China’s Internet network security monitoring data for the first Mid-2020, showing that China’s cyberattacks from abroad continue to increase and that the United States is targeting China.

“What I want to emphasize is that cyberattacks are a common challenge faced by all countries. China has always advocated that all countries strengthen dialogue and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and respond together to this challenge. We also urge all countries to act responsibly in cyberspace. Behavior. ” Wang Wenbin said: “China will take necessary measures to improve the security of its own network, especially to protect the critical information infrastructure from threats and damage.”
