The US has asked China that they should both agree to behave in the proper manner in cyberspace.

Following the data breach at the US Office of Personnel Management, which was not directly referred to, US Treasury Secretary, Jacob Lew has insisted both nations must ‘abide by certain standards of behaviour within cyberspace’.

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.
