China halted cooperation with the U.S. in handling matters of internet security on Monday after the Justice Department charged five Chinese military hackers with cyberespionage, NBC News reported. Back in April, both countries agreed on working together on an initiative to settle their spat over allegations of government-sponsored hacking. But in a statement released by China’s Foreign Ministry, the country announced the end of its cooperation on the initiative and accused the U.S. of its own "large-scale and organized cyber theft" in violation of international law.
