Beijing, March 2 (Xinhua) — China will take all necessary measures to protect its cybersecurity, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday.
Mao Ning made the remarks at a regular press briefing in response to a request for comment on reports that the US Department of Defense is in talks to partner with leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies to use AI-powered tools to automatically gather intelligence on key Chinese infrastructure such as power plants and sensitive internet networks, and identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited in the event of a conflict.
"The United States has long been the main source of instability in cyberspace," the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized, adding that the United States had carried out cyberattacks and pre-deployment operations against China's key infrastructure even before the development of AI technologies.
As Mao Ning pointed out, the US administration is requiring large tech companies to directly serve US geopolitical, political, and military objectives, which has serious global consequences.
The diplomat said that the Chinese side has already expressed its deep concern to the United States through several channels and will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect China's cybersecurity.
