Cybercrime is a challenge that confronts the entire world, and is a threat that China is committed to combating at every turn. At the same time, however, China opposes the rash accusations made by Microsoft, falsely attributing the SharePoint cyberattacks to China. Microsoft should instead wait for more substantive evidence before jumping to conclusions.
