Competing in the Ether: Countering PRC Gray Zone Operations with a South China Sea Cyberspace Coalition

Abstract

As targets of Chinese Gray Zone influence operations, the nations of the South China Sea (SCS) region are fertile ground for USINDOPACOM to plant seeds of cooperation (and perhaps future coalition) in opposition to the CPC. The growing influence of Information Technology (IT) and cyberspace in military operations (particularly Chinese Gray Zone operations) present unique opportunities for cooperation. USINDOPACOM can bolster the security of US national interests within the SCS region by opposing Chinese Gray Zone operations against their neighbors.
