We're witnessing round two of the spat between China and Google.
 
Two weeks after the California based search giant threatened to pull out of the country after finding emails of political activists had been pried into, Beijing is hitting back. 
 
On Monday, the ministry of information said: "Any accusation that the Chinese government participated in cyber attacks, either in an explicit or indirect way, is groundless and aims to discredit China."
 
It comes just days after Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, called on Beijing to investigate sophisticated cyber-spying and make its findings known.
