Chinese Minister of Public Security Guo Shengkun said China wants to "bring the discussions from policies on paper to actual implementation." Along with cybersecurity, the two days of talks are also expected to deal with global supply chain security, combating transnational crime, illegal immigration, counterterrorism and maritime law enforcement. Among the most serious breaches in which China is suspected was one last year against the Office of Personnel Management. Repeated meetings between the sides on cybersecurity indicate the seriousness with which the Obama administration regards the issue, the U.S. ambassador to China, Max Baucus, said at the start of the two-day talks in western Beijing. China describes itself as a victim of hacking and says it is combating cybercrimes.
