China firmly opposes Japan's dangerous moves in the cyber field and strongly urges Japan to abide by its pacifist Constitution and uphold existing international rules and order with concrete actions, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
Lin Jian, the spokesman, made the remarks at a daily press conference in response to Japan's cyber offensive shift.
"China is gravely concerned over Japan's newly adopted cybersecurity strategy that enables 'active cyber defense,' a major policy shift from cyber defense to offense. This is yet another case of Japan, a defeated belligerent of World War II, seeking to defy the postwar international order," said Lin.
"China firmly opposes Japan's dangerous moves in the cyber domain, and calls on Japan to strictly abide by its pacifist Constitution and observe existing international rules and order. Any move that harms China's sovereignty, security and development interests will be met with China's firm response," he said.
