China accused by Hillary Clinton of hacking the US government computers
China has been accused by the Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton of hacking the United States Government’s computers and networks. Hillary Clinton, who is the former Secretary of State used a harsh language against China while stating that the Chinese are hacking into government and commercial networks and stealing sensitive information.
China, is fast becoming a global power and second only to the United States. Clinton has accused China of deploying every measure to compete with the US in its bid to become the biggest superpower in the world and this includes increasing its military strength and launching cyber warfare against the United States Government.
Earlier this year, the United States officials discovered that the sensitive and confidential federal information has been breached and the information has been compromised. The statement from Clinton has a direct reference to this breach of information.
In June this year, the computer network of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was hacked and records of over 4 million employees of the federal government were leaked. James Clapper, the US Chief of Intelligence has claimed that the hack was done by China and that they are the major suspects in such hacking activities. China has however denied the allegations.
Hillary Clinton further claimed that the Chinese Government is fast building its military establishments against the US allies such as Philippines and the hacking incidents are the attempt of the Chinese government to build its prowess.
The Chinese government is denying all such accusations stating that China itself is a victim to such hacking instances and Hua Chunying, the Spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry has stated that both China and the United States are tackling the issue jointly in a constructive manner. Chunying further stated that the two governments are fighting the menace of cyber warfare against their respective countries in a cooperative manner to improve the peace measures in the region and globally.
