China refutes UK's GCHQ: hyping up 'China threat' and confrontation benefits no one, will backfire

ITV News: According to media reports, the Director of GCHQ in London will today give a speech in which he is likely to specifically claim that the Chinese government uses science and technology as a tool and presents a threat to global security. Can I ask you for a response to this?

Mao Ning: The remarks of the British official have no factual basis at all. China’s technological development is aimed at making lives better for the Chinese people. It does not target anyone, still less pose any threat. Subscribing to the so-called “China threat” and stoking confrontation benefits no one and will eventually backfire.
