中国人民解放军总参谋长房峰辉将军在与美国参谋长联席会议主席登普西(Martin Dempsey)会面后发表了上述评论。

网络安全是双方在会谈中讨论的一系列敏感问题之一。奥巴马政府正在考虑在这一问题上与中国对抗的诸种选项，其中包括实施贸易制裁、施加外交压力以及在美国法庭指控中国公民等。

在周一举行的一个新闻发布会上，当被问到有人指控中国人民解放军发起了针对西方企业的黑客攻击、以窃取后者的商业机密时，房峰辉重申中国自己也是网络攻击的受害者。

Cyberattacks could be 'as serious as a nuclear bomb,' according to a top Chinese general, who rejected suggestions that the Chinese military is behind cyberspying aimed at Western companies.

General Fang Fenghui, chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army, made the comments after meeting with his U.S. counterpart Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Cybersecurity was one of a number of sensitive issues covered. The Obama administration is considering options to confront Beijing over the issue, including trade sanctions, diplomatic pressure and indictments of Chinese nationals in U.S. courts.
