The Spin

Anti-China narrative

China's cyberwarfare against the UK must be viewed as a hostile action and should be treated as such. Beijing has clearly demonstrated that it presents a fundamental risk to the UK, and this recent attack must result in a drastic policy shift. This reckless cyber behavior is utterly unacceptable.

UPI

Pro-China narrative

This is a deliberate and coordinated effort to tarnish China's reputation from beginning to end. The PRC was not involved in the hacking of the UK Ministry of Defence, and Beijing strongly rejects any unfounded allegations of cyberattacks driven by political motivations. This disinformation by the UK is unacceptable.
