US 'double standards' threaten other nations

Washington is applying double standards by developing new technology to attack foreigndatabases — even if the computers are not connected to the Internet — while playing upcyberthreats from othersChina's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks in response to a New York Times reportpublished on Tuesday that gave details of the US spywarewhich reportedly set the Chinesemilitary as a major target.

"For some timethe relevant country has on one hand played up the cyberthreats from othercountriesand on the other hand used various methods to implement cyber surveillanceendangering the sovereigntysecurity and public privacy of other countries," Hong said.

He said China and Russia have proposed to the United Nations the setting up of a globalstandard on information security.

The spokesman called on the US to "work with the international community to create internationalregulations and build a peacefulsafeopen and cooperative cyberspace".

"The United States is the country which has made the most accusations about cyberattacks fromother countriesbut itindeedconducted the most surveillance on others," said Fan Jisheaexpert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Washington has long accused the Chinese military of attacking and spying on US computers,without providing strong proofThe blame turned ironic when US National Security Agencywhistle-blower Edward Snowden exposed the country's massive cyber spying program aroundthe globe last yearwith China listed among its major targets.

The New York Time's report on Tuesday said the NSA has embedded software in nearly100,000 computers around the world to carry out surveillance.

The articleciting NSA documentscomputer experts and US officialssaid the agency has useda technology since at least 2008, which relies on a covert channel of radio waves that can betransmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted surreptitiously into the computerstoconduct surveillance.

The equipment can also launch cyberattacks.

The agency calls the effort an "active defense", said the report.

Fan noted that the US not only tapped countries like Cold War rivals Russia and Chinabut alsospied on its allies in Europe.

The NSA has used the technology to monitor foreign militariesdrug cartelstrade institutionsinside the European Union and sometime US partners against terrorism such as Saudi Arabia,India and Pakistanthe New York Times reported.

Li Qinggongdeputy secretary-general of the China Council for National Security Policy Studies,said US spies using radio waves to collect information from computers that are not linked to theInternet have to be in close proximity to receive the information.

He warned that "any people trying to take such actions around a Chinese government or Chinesearmy complexwould be breaking Chinese law.

Cherian Samuela cybersecurity expert at New Delhi's Institute of Defense Studies andAnalysessaid, "If it had been any other country doing this kind of thingthe US would have comedown on them like a ton of bricks with punitive sanctions," according to the Associated Press.

James Andrew Lewisa cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studiesin Washingtontold the New York Times, "What's new here is the scale and the sophistication ofthe intelligence agency's ability to get into computers and networks to which no one has ever hadaccess before.

"Some of these capabilities have been around for a whilebut the combination of learning how topenetrate systems to insert software and learning how to do that using radio frequencies hasgiven the US a window it's never had before."
