Chinese state media on Wednesday labelled the U.S. a ``mincing rascal’’ and ``high-level hooligan’’ in response to Washington charging five Chinese military officers with hacking U.S. companies to steal trade secrets.

The indictment on Monday was the first criminal hacking charge the U.S. has filed against specific foreign officials, and follows a rise in public criticism and private confrontation between the world's two biggest economies over cyber espionage.

As a first response, China suspended a Sino-U.S. working group on cyber issues.

In an editorial, the Global Times, an influential tabloid run by the People's Daily, the official newspaper of China's Communist Party, said this was the ``right move, but we should take further actions’’.

``We should encourage organisations and individuals whose rights have been infringed to stand up and sue Washington.

``Regarding the issue of network security, the U.S. is such a mincing rascal that we must stop developing any illusions about it,’’ the report said.

The Chinese language version of the Global Times called the U. S. a ``high-level hooligan’’.

Washington's legal approach against China is ``high-handed and hypocritical’’, the People's Daily said, citing media reports that the U.S. National Security Administration (NSA) spied on Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

``Suspending the operations of a bilateral group on cyber affairs is a reasonable start, but more countermeasures should be prepared in case Washington obstinately sticks to the wrong track,’’ a media commentary said on Tuesday.

``Otherwise, it should take full responsibility for the consequences of the farce that features itself as a robber playing cop.’’
