China's Foreign Ministry said it was "not aware of the situation" when asked about the FBI's October 31 allegation that North Korea was behind the theft of roughly $6.3 billion in assets from Binance, according to a report by Xinhua Daily on November 2. At a regular press briefing, spokesperson Mao Ning gave the brief response when pressed by a Yonhap News reporter on both the FBI attribution and US President Trump's statement that he would raise the matter with North Korea if confirmed. The incident, if verified, would rank among the largest crypto exchange breaches on record, and the FBI attribution ties it to state-sponsored North Korean hacking groups that have long targeted exchanges. The exchange of remarks adds a diplomatic dimension to a major crypto security event, touching US-North Korea relations and China's position. Watch for any formal Binance disclosure on the loss, further US or UN action against North Korean cyber units, and whether Trump follows through on raising the issue with Pyongyang.
