The Chinese Embassy in Singapore has noticed that when reporting the story of attacks on Singapore by the cyberattack group UNC3886 on July 19, Singaporean media outlets such as The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao and Channel News Asia cited so-called information from a certain country's cybersecurity company and claimed that this group is linked to China. The Chinese government expresses its strong dissatisfaction with this and opposes any groundless smears and accusations against China. In fact, China is a major victim of cyberattacks. The Embassy would like to reiterate that China is firmly against and cracks down all forms of cyberattacks in accordance with law. China does not encourage, support or condone hacking activities. Keeping the cyberspace safe is a global challenge and China stands ready to work with Singapore and the rest of the world to jointly protect cybersecurity.
