China's emergence as a great power in the twenty-first century is strongly enabled by cyberspace. Leveraged information technology integrates Chinese firms into the global economy, modernizes infrastructure, and increases internet penetration which helps boost export-led growth. China's pursuit of 'informatization' reconstructs industrial sectors and solidifies the transformation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army into a formidable regional power. Even as the government censors content online, China has one of the fastest growing internet populations and most of the technology is created and used by civilians. Western political discourse on cybersecurity is dominated by news of Chinese military development of cyberwarfare capabilities and cyber exploitation against foreign governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Western accounts, however, tell only one side of the story. Chinese leaders are also concerned with cyber insecurity, and Chinese authors frequently note that China is also a victim of foreign cyber attacks - predominantly from the United States. This book is a comprehensive analysis of China's cyberspace threats and policies. The contributors - Chinese specialists in cyber dynamics, experts on China, and experts on the use of information technology between China and the West - address cyberspace threats and policies, emphasizing the vantage points of China and the U.S. on cyber exploitation and the possibilities for more positive coordination with the West. The volume's multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural approach does not pretend to offer wholesale resolutions. Contributors take different stances on how problems may be analyzed and reduced, and aim to inform the international audience of how China's political, economic, and security systems shape cyber activities. The compilation provides empirical and evaluative depth on the deepening dependence on shared global information infrastructure and the growing willingness to exploit it for political or economic gain.

No single invention of the last half century has changed the way we live now as much as the Internet. The author was a member of the generation for whom it was a utopian ideal turned reality : a place where ideas, information, and knowledge could be shared and new freedoms found and enjoyed. Two decades later, the future isn't so bright any more : increasingly, the Internet is used as a weapon and a means of domination by states eager to exploit or curtail global connectivity in order to further their national interests. The author explains why we underestimate the consequences of states' ambitions to project power in cyberspace at our peril : Not only have hacking and cyber operations fundamentally changed the nature of political conflict - ensnaring states in a struggle to maintain a precarious peace that could rapidly collapse into all-out war - but the rise of covert influencing and information warfare has enabled these same global powers to create and disseminate their own distorted versions of reality in which anything is possible. At stake are not only our personal data or the electrical grid, but the Internet as we know it today - and with it the very existence of open and democratic societies. Blending anecdote with argument, the author brings us face-to-face with the range of threats the struggle for cyberspace presents, from an apocalyptic scenario of debilitated civilian infrastructure to a 1984-like erosion of privacy and freedom of expression. Focusing on different approaches to cyber-conflict in the US, Russia and China, he reveals the extent to which the battle for control of the Internet is as complex and perilous as the one surrounding nuclear weapons during the Cold War - and quite possibly as dangerous for humanity as a whole.

"Nous, Européens, croyons vivre en paix, protégés depuis plus d'un demi-siècle des tumultes du monde. Pourtant, sous nos yeux, et sans que nous y ayons pris garde, on nous a déclaré la guerre. Des puissances autoritaires et inamicales utilisent notre espace de liberté comme terrain de jeu, dans l'espoir de nous diviser et de nous affaiblir. Les campagnes de désinformation, les cyberattaques, l'ingérence dans nos campagnes électorales et dans notre vie politique se sont multipliées. Fake news, faux médias, vrais trolls : l'infox touche désormais tous les sujets, de la Covid aux droits des femmes et des minorités, en passant par la guerre d'Ukraine. Nos démocraties européennes sont harcelées, critiquées, calomniées, afin que leurs fondations vacillent et que leur influence diminue. Ces guerres invisibles que l'on nous livre, nous sommes parfaitement capables de les gagner, sous réserve que nous en mesurions l'ampleur et que nous n'hésitions pas à nous battre pour nos valeurs. Ces guerres invisibles, nous n'avons surtout pas le droit de les perdre."
