China Aiming to Disable U.S. Defenses

China’s quest to develop a cyberwarfare capability is designed to cripple the national defense infrastructure of the United States in a potential pre-emptive attack, according to a new report from the bi-partisan congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Commission, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

In a 136-page report titled “Occupying the Information High Ground: Chinese Capabilities for Computer Network Operations and Cyber Espionage,” the commission asserted that Chinese advances in cyberwarfare were specifically targeting U.S. military systems.

“Chinese capabilities in computer network operations have advanced sufficiently to pose a genuine risk to U.S. military operations in the event of a conflict,” the commission said.
