Chinese authorities have not publicly commented on the breach. Search terms relating to it, including 'data leak', were censored on Chinese social media

If the claim is true, it would amount to one of the largest data breaches in history, especially given the nature and extent of the personal information. The asking price for the database is 10 bitcoin - worth around £169,000 at the time of publication.
