Xi Jinping addresses cyber security in Seattle speech

Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed a room of US officials and business leaders in Seattle on the first day of his state visit to the country on Tuesday, with economy and cyber security top of the agenda.

In what is expected to be the only policy speech on his trip, Xi reassured the world that the country’s stock market has reached the “phase of self-recovery and self-adjustment” after a period of volatility since June.

Responding to allegations that Beijing had a hand in cyber attacks against the US, Xi stated that China remains a “staunch defender of cyber security” and intends to “set up a high-level joint dialogue mechanism with the United States on fighting cyber crimes”.

Despite the rhetoric on show, the Wall Street Journal quoted a senior Obama advisor who admitted the need to discuss the issues, saying “we won’t paper over those differences”.
