China calls US arrogant and selfish after hacking indictment
BEIJING — China called the U.S. arrogant and selfish on Friday after two Chinese citizens were charged with stealing American trade secrets and other sensitive information on behalf of Beijing’s main intelligence agency.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said “the Chinese government has never participated in or supported anyone in stealing trade secrets in any way.”
She accused the U.S. of undermining the development of other countries in order to defend its own hegemony.
“The U.S. is a world superpower, and it’s quite arrogant and selfish,” she said during a regular press briefing.
