The Spin
Pro-China narrative
Cyberattacks seriously violate Chinese sovereignty and security. The NSA's actions show a pattern of aggressive cyber espionage against Chinese interests; the U.S. must cease these malicious activities and adopt a responsible attitude toward cybersecurity.
Anti-China narrative
The U.S. has consistently exposed Chinese state-backed hackers targeting critical American infrastructure and government bodies. China's accusations are retaliatory after U.S. indictments of Chinese hackers targeting multiple countries.
