"The current situation of our crackdown is still very grim and the number of hacker attacks and sabotage activities in China are still high," said a statement from the Chinese ministry of Public Security.
The statement came after American diplomatic cables, released by the Wikileaks website, suggested that China had ordered a hacking attack on Google, the search engine, in December 2009.
At the time, Google described the attack as a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google".
