China’s defense ministry asks U.S. to rescind Equifax hacking indictments

BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s defense ministry asked the United States on Thursday to correct its mistakes and rescind the indictments against four Chinese military personnel in the 2017 Equifax hacking case.

A defense ministry spokesman, in a statement, said the move was needed to avoid further damage to the relations of the two countries and the two armed forces.
