Australia hints at Chinese cyber-attack; Japan, Vietnam too riled by Beijing

It seems like India isn’t the only country fighting China’s tactics right now. Hinting at China, Australian PM Scott Morrison on Friday said that his authorities and a few personal sector entities within the nation had been underneath a sustained cyber-attack by a state actor.Last week, Vietnam’s overseas ministry stated two Chinese ships had attacked a Vietnamese fishing boat within the South China Sea. The incident occurred close to the Parcel Islands which China claims as its own. In April, Vietnam had protested after one of its fishing boats was sunk by a Chinese maritime surveillance vessel close to the islands.Reports from Japan on June 18 indicated that China had positioned its vessels close to the Senkaku Islands within the East China Sea for 66 days operating to intimidate Tokyo.
