BEIJING (Sputnik) - Beijing has issued a strong protest over the accusation of cyber attacks by Australia, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

During a briefing, a journalist asked Guo to comment on statements of Australian Security Intelligence Organization Director-General of Security Mike Burgess, who said that Chinese hackers conduct multiple attempts to penetrate critical infrastructure in Australia.

"In recent months, the Australian official you mentioned has repeatedly hurled attacks at China, spread disinformation and deliberately sowed division and confrontation. China firmly opposes it and has protested with Australia," Guo said.

The spokesperson emphasized that China hopes that the Australian officials will stop making irresponsible statements and take more decisive actions toward the healthy development of China-Australia relations.
