China's Cyber Power and America's National Security
Abstract
The People s Republic of China is one of the world s leading cyber powers and is working steadily with the intent to develop the capacity to deter or defeat the United States in and through cyberspace. This Strategy Research Project examines the growth of Chinese cyber power; their known and demonstrated capabilities for offensive, defensive and exploitive computer network operations; China s national security objectives; and the possible application of Chinese cyber power in support of those objectives. Comparing China s capacity and potential to the United States current efforts for cyber security, as outlined in the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, this Strategy Research Project highlights the degree to which the People's Republic of China's cyber power poses a threat to United States' national security and offers proposals to improve future U.S. policy for cyber security and defense.
