China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) has doubled down on claims that the threat actor known as the Volt Typhoon is a fabrication of the U.S. and its allies.

The agency, in collaboration with the National Engineering Laboratory for Computer Virus Prevention Technology, went on to accuse the U.S. federal government, intelligence agencies, and Five Eyes countries of conducting cyber espionage activities against China, France, Germany, Japan, and internet users globally.

It also said there's "ironclad evidence" indicating that the U.S. carries out false flag operations in an attempt to conceal its own malicious cyber attacks, adding it's inventing the "so-called danger of Chinese cyber attacks" and that it has established a "large-scale global internet surveillance network."

"The U.S. military base in Guam has not been a victim of the Volt Typhoon cyber attacks at all, but the initiator of a large number of cyberattacks against China and many Southeast Asian countries and the backhaul center of stolen data."

It would be pretty silly of China not to have a cyberwarfare branch.

It is the other way around. " I know I am, but what are you" every time the US accused someone of something it is a cover for us doing it.

I'm pretty sure it's just an endless series of spiderman pointing at each other.

Possible. Howver we have patter of behavior to establish malfeasance with the CPC. In contrast the US is funding at least toe genocides at a time. So they do not get the benefit of thr doubt

Every country hacks every other country, and when convenient will claim false flag.

Yeah China gives too much of a shit about global opinion. They absolutely should stop pandering to this international rules shit they do so fucking often.

Like literaly who cares about US cyber attacks when you should be the one hacking the US to shit. We need escalation and retaliation against the US not appeals to liberal civil order shit. But China loves to do this and the worst part is I think they believe it works lol.

Pointing to American hypocrisy is a low hanging fruit and quite meaningless at this point.
