Electronic Warfare in China's Past, Present, and Future - Storming Media

The Military Power of the People's Republic of China 2007 report by the DOD suggests that, in addition to the Red Army's army, navy, air force and rocket arms, the Chinese government is putting together a team to deal with "electronic and online arenas ".

"China's concept of an 'information blockade' likely extends beyond the strictly military realm to include other elements of state power." The report suggests that the People's Republic of China is developing teams to handle computer network attack, defense and exploitation with a separate section handling electronic countermeasures. It cites logistics systems and satellite communications as possible targets, and claims that exercises have been held in cooperation with other Red Army arms since 2005.
