Chinese information operations and information warfare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Informatized warfare of China is the implementation of information warfare (IW) within the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and other organizations affiliated or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Laid out in the Chinese Defence White Paper of 2008,[1] informatized warfare includes the utilization of information-based weapons and forces, including battlefield management systems, precision-strike capabilities, and technology-assisted command and control (C4ISR).[2] However, some media and analyst report also uses the term to describe the political and espionage effort from the Chinese state.[3]
Efforts by China have been aimed in causing unrest within the United States in the lead up to the 2024 American presidential elections.
