The British Foreign Minister, David Cameron, said the cyberattacks were “completely unacceptable” and that he had raised the issue “directly with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.”
Following the Deputy Prime Minister’s declaration in Parliament yesterday, the UK has enacted stringent, specific sanctions against a proxy firm and two individuals implicated in China’s harmful cyber operations.
