Oct. 19 (UPI) -- China on Sunday accused the United States of espionage against the country's top time center, which China said could seriously impact the orderly functioning of its society.
China's top counter-espionage agency, the Ministry of State Security, said the U.S. National Security Agency is responsible for a series of cyberattacks on the Chinese National Time Services Center.
The Chinese Ministry of State Security made the accusation via a social media post Sunday.
Based in Xian, Shaanxi province, the time center is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is responsible for generating and disseminating the country's standard time.
