Chinese defense ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng rebuked the US for allegedly spying on Huawei Technologies, telling journalists at a briefing on Thursday that China planned to take urgent steps to increase its cyber security to prevent hacking attacks in the future, Financial Times reported. Classified documents handed over by Edward Snowden, a former US National Security Agency contractor, suggest that the NSA had snooped on servers of Shenzhen-based telecom giant Huawei. Reports of espionage by the NSA “lay bare the United States’s hypocrisy and despotic rule,” Geng said.
