China today asked the U.S. government to stop spying on it, China’s first reaction to WikiLeaks’ disclosure of a trove of CIA documents that alleged the agency was able to hack smartphones, personal computers, routers and other digital devices worldwide. <\/p>\n

“We urge the U.S. to stop listening in, monitoring, stealing secrets and [conducting] cyber-attacks against China and other countries,” said Geng Shuang, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said today in a Beijing press briefing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Geng also said that China would protect its own networks, was willing to work with others toward what he called “orderly cyberspace,” and repeated his government’s stock denunciation of hacking. <\/p>\n

The U.S. and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) regularly exchanges accusations of government-sanctioned cyber spying and more run-of-the-mill criminal hacking. In 2015, when the two countries signed their first cybercrime and cyberespionage agreement<\/a>, the deal excluded government-based espionage. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Wikileaks published nearly 9,000 documents<\/a> it claimed came from the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence. The cache described how the intelligence agency collected “zero-day” vulnerabilities — those that had not been publicly reported and patched — and aimed original and re-purposed malware against targets ranging from iPhones and smart TVs to Internet routers and Windows PCs. <\/p>\n

Today, the secrets-spilling WikiLeaks implied it may share some of the most sensitive information with affected vendors<\/a> like Apple, Cisco, and Microsoft so that they can fix potential flaws in their code. <\/p>\n

WikiLeaks has so far withheld the source code of the CIA attack tools from the massive data dump. <\/p>\n
