US reports on security paint false picture

Washington publishing research with wrong conclusions to contain China

Publishing high-profile reports to misinterpret Beijing's policies has become a new trick used by Washington in the field of cybersecurity to manipulate public opinion with the purpose of containing China, a veteran cybersecurity expert said.

Zuo Xiaodong, vice-president of the China Information Security Research Institute, said in an interview with China Daily that the US government has released a large number of false research reports on China's internet policy since the Trump administration.

Among them was the Data Security Business Advisory published by the United States' Department of Homeland Security in December.
