A | ▲ 더불어민주당 김민석 대표가 26일 경북 안동시 민주당 경북도당 사무실에서 열린 최고위원회의에서 발언하고 있다. 연합뉴스 더불어민주당 김민석 대표가 이재명 대통령에게 인요한 전 국민의힘 의원의 대한적십자사 회장 취임을 위한 인준을 재고해달라고 요청한 것으로 알려졌다.민주당 박성준 수석대변인은 26일 경북 안동에서 열린 현장 최고위원회의를 마친 뒤 기자들과 만나 이 같은 사실을 전했다.박 수석대변인은 "어제 청와대에서 이 대통령과 민주당 지도부 간 만찬이 끝난 뒤 김 대표가 별도의 자리에서 인 회장을 임명하지 않는 게 좋겠다고 말했다"고 밝혔다.이어 "인 회장 임명과 관련해 여러 이야기가 나오는 가운데 당 내외 의견을 수렴한 결과 이런 말씀을 드린 것"이라고 설명했다.인 전 의원은 국회공직자윤리위원회의 취업심사를 통과한 상태다.국회가 전날 공개한 '2026년 8월 퇴직공직자 취업심사결과'에 따르면 국회공직자윤리위는 지난 24일 심사를 진행해 인 전 의원의 대한적십자사 회장 취업에 대해 '취업 가능' 판단을 내렸다. ▲ 인요한 전 국민의힘 의원/연합뉴스 이에 따라 인 전 의원은 이 대통령의 인준을 받으면 대한적십자사 회장에 취임할 수 있게 된다.앞서 대한적십자사는 지난 6월 22일 중앙위원회 의결을 통해 인 전 의원을 회장으로 선출했다.그러나 인 전 의원이 2024년 12월 비상계엄 선포 이후 윤석열 전 대통령 탄핵소추안 표결에 불참한 점 등을 이유로 회장 선출이 적절하지 않다는 비판이 제기돼왔다.이번 김 대표의 인준 재고 요청으로 이 대통령이 인 전 의원의 적십자사 회장 취임을 둘러싼 정치권의 논란을 어떻게 판단할지 주목된다.#대통령 #적십자사 #인준 #의원 #임명。

The US government is encouraging American companies to launch their own cyberattacks against criminal hackers, a move that certain US media claimed would bring the US closer to the practices of some of its chief cyber adversaries, including China and Russia. A Chinese expert slammed the claim as factually unfounded, saying that the US move would seriously disrupt the global cyberspace order. Washington has long projected its own conduct onto other countries, inventing adversaries to justify the militarization of cyberspace, the weaponization of artificial intelligence (AI) and even a privateer-style model of cyber piracy, said the expert.
Under a national security memorandum that US President Donald Trump signed late Wednesday, select companies would work with the Justice and Homeland Security Departments to strike foreign cybercriminal groups with hacks under certain conditions. The attacks would allow both surveillance of the criminal networks and specific types of hacking operations that could lead to disruption, manipulation or destruction of information systems and networks, including virtual and physical infrastructure, according to a report from the New York Times.
A CNN report called the move "a major policy shift that experts say could come with legal risk for the companies." It also noted that "companies can use cyber tools to surveil foreign criminals and disrupt their networks under the 'control and oversight' of the new federal program."
The US move is an attempt, under the guise of combating cybercrime, to accelerate its plan to issue "cyber privateering licenses" to private entities. Its core objective is to exploit its advantages in the cybersecurity and intelligence sectors and rapidly turn AI-enhanced cyberattack capabilities into tools for securing strategic interests and undermining the security of other nations, Xiao Xinguang, chief software architect from Chinese cybersecurity company Antiy, told the Global Times on Friday.
Analysts noted that some US media outlets routinely drag China into the frame and slander it whenever Washington unveils relevant policies, all to manufacture pretexts to legitimize America's own policies.
The New York Times report claimed that "to some extent, the new order would align the US more with some of its chief cyberantagonists, including China and Russia, where spy agencies have long relied on contract hackers working in the private sector to further their national security missions."
Xiao noted that the US has long projected its own practices onto other countries, manufacturing imaginary adversaries as scapegoats and falsely attributing to China the operational models of its own intelligence agencies, contractor networks and revolving-door system. By applying double standards and leveling unfounded accusations, Washington creates pretexts for militarizing cyberspace, weaponizing AI and even developing a cyber-privateering model.
In reality, certain US corporations have long supported US intelligence agencies in intelligence collection and offensive cyber operations, and this has been an established practice for years, Xiao said.
"Now, the US is bringing these previously covert practices into the open. As the trend develops, more US cybersecurity firms and intelligence contractors could operate under so-called privateering authorizations, posing as non-state actors while carrying out intrusions, data theft, sabotage and other disruptive cyberattacks against countries around the world," said Xiao.
