دانلود کتاب اژدهای سایبری در جنگ اطلاعاتی و عملیات سایبری چین

As a society that has revered learning and education for millennia, China has a long history of valuing information. As a disadvantaged, developing country for much of the past century, Chinese leaders, whether imperial, republican, or Communist, have recognized the importance of increasing their access to technical and military information in order to help improve China’s standing and capabilities. As a Marxist–Leninist dictatorship for the past several decades, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership has understood the importance of controlling information, as a central element of retaining power. This evolving view of the relationship between information and power has crystalized in the past half century, as the world economy has globalized, and as information has become even more integrated with development. Beginning in the 1970s, the proliferation of microelectronics, computers, and telecommunications technology has accelerated the ability to gather, store, manage, and transmit information. Information technology, including computers and telecommunications systems, has permeated all aspects of society and economies and become an integral part of a nation’s infrastructure. 1 Chinese analysts have dubbed this process “informationization” ( xinxihua; 信息化).
