China's Cyber War -The New Global Battlefield

According to a Pentagon report that the British “Times” has acquired,
the United States military believe that China is actively planning
cyber attacks against American military installations. One of the plans
is apparently an attack on America’s aircraft battle carrier fleet, and
was drawn up by two PLA (People’s Liberation Army) air force officials,
Sun Yiming and Yang Liping.

The cyber attacks are part of what China believes will be the frontline
of any attack against countries such as America, Britain and North
Korea. Pentagon assessments believe that China’s race towards reaching
“electronic dominance” over their rivals by 2050 is part of their view
that such a dominance is “critical to seize the initiative” in the
first stages of a war.

Over the past several years, it has become apparent that China has
breached American military installations electronically countless
times, so much so that President Bush has said that “a lot of our
systems are vulnerable to attack”.
