BEIJING: China warned the United States on Thursday to "speak and act cautiously" to avoid further strains in ties and denied any military involvement in recent cyberattacks against Google.

A defence ministry spokesman also said Beijing's position on suspending military exchanges with the United States over arms sales to Taiwan remained unchanged, after the Pentagon said at least three visits had been postponed.

China has said it will sanction US firms involved in the 6.4-billion-dollar deal announced last month which included Patriot missiles, helicopters and equipment for Taiwan's F-16 fleet, but no submarines or new fighter aircraft.

Beijing views self-ruled Taiwan as part of its territory.

"The Chinese side urges the US side to speak and act cautiously to avoid further damage to bilateral relations and peaceful cross-strait development," ministry spokesman Huang Xueping was quoted as saying by the state Xinhua news agency.

A Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday that several planned exchanges had been put off, including a visit to the United States by China's chief of the general staff, and a trip to China by the commander of the US Pacific Command.

Chinese authorities allowed the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier to visit Hong Kong last week just hours before US President Barack Obama met the Dalai Lama -- which also sparked an angry reaction from Beijing.

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said this week he still planned to visit China later this year.

Sino-US ties have also been rocky since US Internet giant Google said last month it was considering shutting down its Chinese-language search engine and leaving the country altogether over hack attacks and government web censorship.

Google has said it believes those attacks originated in China, and recent reports said they had been traced back to two schools in China, one of which is linked to the military. Beijing has repeatedly denied any involvement.

Spokesman Huang called the accusations of links between Internet hackers and the Chinese military "baseless and irresponsible", adding they had been "hyped up for ulterior motives".
