Abstract

This chapter analyses how China is using cyber reconnaissance to achieve electronic shi, defined as strategic advantage. It examines China’s cyber strategy and information age advantages; Chinese financial and military cyber threats; China’s hacker population; and Chinese organizations devoted to cyber defense. Once attained, electronic shi allows a country to “win victory before the first battle.”
