China pooh-poohs the coming cyberwar

After the recent spate of attacks on US networks, the DoD released a statement that the Chinese are discounting. What? You expected them to fess up or something?:

China has denounced a U.S. congressional panel that issued a report accusing it of stepping up computer espionage attacks on the American government, its defense contractors and businesses.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a congressional advisory panel, also said in an annual report to lawmakers that aggressive Chinese space programs were allowing Beijing to better target U.S. military forces.
In a statement issued late Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang rejected the findings, dismissing them as 'not worthy of rebuttal.'
The commission 'deliberately slanders and attacks China' and always sees it in a bad light, Qin said. 'It attempts to mislead public opinion and the general public as well as set obstacles for Sino-U.S. cooperation in extensive fields.'
