Chinese schools deny link to Google attack

We were shocked and indignant to hear these baseless allegations which may harm the universitys reputation, Xinhua quoted a Jiaotong University spokesperson saying. The report of the New York Times was based simply on an IP address. Given the highly developed network technology today,such a report is neither objective nor balanced,the spokesperson added.

The Communist party boss at Lanxiang Vocational School,the other institution,also denied any role. Investigations found no trace the attacks originated from our school,Li Zixiang,party chief at the school in coastal Shandong Province,was quoted as saying. Google announced in January it had faced a sophisticated attack mid-December,allegedly from China.
