China Telecom Rejects Report of IntChina Telecom, a major wireless service provider in the country, on Thursday denied U.S. allegations that its servers had "hijacked" Internet traffic.
"China Telecom has never done such an act," said Wang Yongzhen, a senior press official with the company, in response to foreign media citing a document released by a U.S. Congressional advisory group and alleging that his company had rerouted Internet traffic on websites including that of the U.S. military through its servers for 18 minutes on April 8 this year.
"These reports by foreign media are completely groundless," Wang retorted, adding his company has always abided by and strictly followed relevant international regulations and standards for Internet operations.
