China has accused the United States of “indiscriminate eavesdropping across the world” while rejecting allegations by Washington and its allies that it had engaged in malicious cyberattacks.

Chinese diplomatic missions in five countries and the European Union denounced the US allegations – that Beijing sponsored a massive hack of the Microsoft Exchange email software – as a political conspiracy lacking in evidence. Britain, Australia, the EU and Nato are among those that have also blamed China for the alleged attack.
