He was speaking to Chinese and US officials at the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) in Washington from 22-24 June where cybersecurity was a major topic.
Investigators have accused China of stealing data on 18 million federal employees, which included details of those seeking or renewing security clearances.
