BEIJING, June 11 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland on Wednesday vowed to step up its fight against cyber attacks carried out by an organization backed by Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks at a press conference in response to a question about a wanted list released in early June by police in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, southern China.
The list contains the names of 20 people suspected of involvement in cyber attacks organized by Taiwan’s Information, Communications and Electronic Force Command (ICEFCOM).
Zhu Fenglian said the recent actions by mainland Chinese law enforcement agencies to ensure public security constitute a decisive response to separatist forces advocating “Taiwan independence” and specifically target ICEFCOM’s illegal activities.
The evidence that the DPP administration is organizing frequent and indiscriminate cyberattacks on mainland China’s network infrastructure through ICEFCOM is “clear and irrefutable,” she said.
She reiterated that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. “Anyone who jeopardizes national sovereignty, security or development interests will face legal consequences,” she added.
Zhu Fenglian said legal measures will be taken against the illegal activities of the DPP administration, including cyber attacks carried out in collusion with external forces.
“We will continue to take effective measures in accordance with the law to bring those responsible to justice. We will not be lenient with them,” she said. -0-
