Chinese president: My country also hit by hackers
By Mark Knoller, CBS News, June 8, 2013

[....] In a countermove to Mr. Obama's charges that Chinese hackers are targeting the U.S., Xi said Friday that his country is also a victim of cyber-attacks.

But through "good faith cooperation," said Xi, the U.S. and China can make cybersecurity "a positive area of cooperation."

It looked like an effort by Xi to turn the tables on Mr. Obama as the two leaders reported on their first round of summit talks that lasted the better part of three hours and continued into the night over dinner.

Xi said U.S. press coverage of the hacking issue was giving people "the sense or feeling" that the cyberthreat emanates from China and that it's the biggest issue in the Sino-American relationship.

In response to a reporter's question, Mr. Obama said the hacking issue came up in their talks but they had not yet had "in depth discussions" on it.

"We were speaking at the 40,000-foot level," said Mr. Obama, but he expected the issue to come up again.

He spoke of "the need for rules and common approaches" to cybersecurity. Xi later committed to a similar objective.

"We need to pay close attention to this issue," said Xi, "and study ways to effectively resolve it."

But Mr. Obama said "in some ways these are uncharted waters," when it comes to rules of the road for cyber security. Yet he believes the U.S. and China can arrive at "a firm understanding" of how to work together on the issue.

Mr. Obama made it clear he did not think his position on cybersecurity was in any way undermined by the disclosure of U.S. government surveillance phone call data and website visits.

He said the surveillance matter is complicated, but it's "different from the issue of hacking." [....]
