Mr Zhao also said China was a "staunch upholder of cyber security" and "the biggest victim of cyber attacks".
Earlier this week the ministry strongly criticised ASPI for a report on the Communist Party's United Work Front activities.
On Friday, Mr Morrison announced Australian institutions, including hospitals and state-owned utilities, had been the targets of a large-scale cyber attacks in recent months. "What I can confirm is there are not a large number of state-based actors that can engage in this type of activity," Mr Morrison said.
"The actions that we are taking are the actions that we need to take, and we will continue to be as vigilant as we possibly can be."urged companies to review new cyber protection advice from the Australian Cyber Security Centre.The ASPI website lists a number of defence companies among its sponsors, including Northrop Grumman, MBDA Missile Systems and Raytheon Australia.
I have never heard a deny so much that is true as the crap that comes from the chinese leader... He tells his people to lie and deny.
The criminal returns to the scene. Please remember that PM of Australia did NOT MENTIONED the name of the suspicious country. 😠
Beijing lying as usual
Hands up anyone who believes them.
Chinas good at hyping up anti-western sentiment while blaming the West for anti-Chinese sentiment. All they do is portrait themselves as the good guys and the victims of the 'horrible' democratic West. No wonder CCP supporters are brainwashed.
Wumao
The media accepts without question these accusations yet can't ask about the NSA hacking tools & their false attributions of non allied States. The U.S has been pushing anti-Chinese rhetoric, common sense would tell you to be suspicious of the timing of these announcements.
The Chinese government hackers misbehaviour in the cyber attacks on Australia, proves why Australia was quite right in the removal of Huawei from the 5G network. Moreover, the Chinese government’s whinging drivel that comes out in denial only makes the denial less believable.
He is literally reading a script.
1.Of course 🇨🇳denies it 2.ScoMo didn’t point the finger, media did 3.What can we do -nothing 🇨🇳 is 30%of our GDP, screw🇨🇳 ➡️totally screw 🇦🇺economy 4.We need 🇨🇳to NEED us but right now Trump needs🇨🇳 ➡️ 🇺🇸sell soybeans to 🇨🇳➡️🇦🇺📉 What’s the answer?
The Emperor denies being a Sith Lord
IDK about this. A few years ago the Russians would have automatically been blamed.
China also lies alot, China seems to do nothing wrong the only thing l can say is bullshit
In other news, murderer denies murdering.
Yeah China is doing it along with Russia, the US, North Korea and any one else who has an agenda. I just worry for safety of any Asian Australian in this bigoted xenophobic country of ours. The flames of which are fanned by this diplomaticly inept Government
🤣🤣 of course it does, they deny everything!
Is it a confidential that CCP attacked in the front of Australian government?
Fake China
Is any direct accusation? Why denies? Of course must be true if China denies it.
Vault 7 Wikileaks release indicated the intelligence agencies of USA can cloak a hack to appear it is from another source. The Australian government would have no idea. It could be anybody or a False Flag.

BoycottMadeInChina Software in a week and Hardware in a Year
Yeah not behind it, we're at forefront of it.☺
🤔Quite simple to prove or disprove state sanctioned cyber-espionage - start nationalising Chinese owned Australian assets and locking down critical natural resource exports & see how quick the intrusions subside?🤔
It’s both hilarious and revealing that China is the first country jumping out to deny its involvement in the cyberattack on Australia. ScottMorrisonMP mentioned in his disclosure neither China nor any other country. China’s denial says it all. StandWithAustralia
Ah yes, the chinese government, known for the truth telling and honesty. They've already been caught being full of shit just this year with a fucking viral outbreak
They also denied hiding covid-19. They are full of crap. I am trying my very best to not buy anything from China. They need to be ruined.
Everyone knows it was the Duchy of Grand Fenwick
OH AND HERE IS ANOTHER LYING ACCUSATION BY AUSTRALIAN MEDIA AT CHINA . IT SEEMS CHINA BASHING SEASON.
SUSPECTED? NOTHING SOURCES? NONE EVIDENCE? NONE. CHINA IS RIGHT TO DENY SUCH =
Well they ain’t going to say ‘yes we did it’ are they?
Who trust china ... No one We cant believe them . Lets kick them out from our Country .
What can we believe about statements from China.
They denied being behind Covid 19 too , but hey what would I know ?
Is there any evidence a cyber attack actually happened? After all, we’re talking about a Govt that can’t tell the difference between a predictable increase in traffic to Centrelink and a DDOS attack.
China denies everything, unless it's something good...
Morrison’s politically motivated attacks on China are not helping Australia at all.
Of course they do..😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Why we can’t just ignore China in total. Australia please look around - our export can live without CHINA. Our World is big enough we have outher countries for our export.
Not China. AnywhereButChina. In fact, nah, it was the chopping board y’all.
How did you find out? You can’t even tell between a DDOS attack and too many users logging in...
That’s one story i’m not buying.
Well someone is behind this Guilty people always say no wasn't me lol
Xi Jinping is ready to turn his country into North Korea because he figured out that's the only way his regime can remain in power in the coming decades. Expect more of this kind of provocations in the coming months as he needs siege mentality at home to carry out his agenda.
We don’t believe China or Australia 😂😄 someone’s lying but we don’t trust any of them
Course they would.
Spoiler : It was the Salmons.
They weren't accused by our PM, why would they feel compelled to deny?
Well I guess it must have been someone else.
Who cares just send in the nukes already. We have had enough.
ScottMorrisonMP Honourable Prime Minister, Sir, if China is denying it, be rest assured they did it; or got it done through their local contacts.
They denied the CCP virus too..just because they deny it doesn't mean it didn't happen the way it's reported. Chinese communist party are a poison to this world
The Chinese government never admits that it has done bad things.
It must have been that bloody pangolin again!
Anthony Albanese denies that he is either a grown-up or an intelligent man, throwing his weight behind the government's Ready-Aim-Fire Covid Safe app & ChinaVirus conspiracy. Far Out. 'There is no difference between the gov't. & the opposition on these issues. None.' auspol
I’m calling BS on this one.
So it's a yes. Them denying anything = It being true
Who's surprised? There is one thing every person can do to limit the. CCP access to their personal data though...
He has a good poker face.
China lied, servers fried.
1940s CCP: the democratic US is always the best friend and teacher of China 1989 CCP: No one found dead in the Tiananmen Square 2020 CCP: We haven't launched any cyber attack on Oz. A liar is always a liar
Of course they do comrade
Twiggy Forrest can confirm that it didn’t happen
I THINK its America?
I’m not into conspiracy theories, but I have been offered special dinner deals from 4 different Chinese takeaway places today on my social media...
Even if they say YES, what can we do? We will do nothing but be angry, and they will not hear any sound here. Since we have no ability to fight back, we should strengthen ourselves!
If you believe Chinese people I got news for ya
BULLSHIT
It's not China, it's Australian bureaucrats watching porn downloading viruses
🤣🤣🤣
Without evidence, it's just a baseless accusation. Bot nets are for hire by anybody with the funds. It could be Russia or it could be the USA trying to make China look bad for all we know.
Where is the WMD evidence ScoMo or will you decimate our trade with this distraction. And I mean kill 10% because I studied history
how many fronts they will fight? There is already a vizible rift in Chinese party. Xi will sunk China.
L.O.L. (this is a secret code)
Defund
Hahahahahaha. You so funnee.
It’s time for us to stop this lion. Who still believe in communist China after Covid-19, Xinjiang, HongKong, Taiwan ,Tibet, huawei, belt&road, and india? We must stand with universal values! indiaNepalFriendship IndiaWillPunishChina StandwithHK
Hah! China has been so honest, upstanding and mature that we simply must believe them. Pig's arse.
China is the poison of the world. boycottchina
Evidence please. When US attack IRAQ, at lease they show the powder in UN. At lease show sth please. This is ugly. China should disconnect with Australia from now on.
Lying fkrs
What a disgrace for running this story. It was a bullshit story from the PM in the first instance.
filmed exclusively above the waist, his pants were on fire
China should disconnect with Australia. I see the two countries has no sharing interest, both countries hate each other now. People also hate each other. Disconnect is better for both!
Then it's Russia!
This news is exactlly the reason that China hates OZ 'independance inquire'. To China Australia has a history of judge without evidence. Accuse first then try to find evidence. Presumption of innocence.
