As tensions between China and the USA escalate over accusations of cyberattacks and industrial espionage, China unveiled a comprehensive plan to bolster its cybersecurity defences. The initiative, published on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) website, stresses China’s determination to reduce reliance on Western-made hardware and software amid hacking concerns from foreign entities.
The plan outlines a series of measures to address various cybersecurity risks, including ransomware attacks, vulnerability backdoors, and unauthorised remote operations.
