Hensikten å forstyrre operasjoner fremfor overvåkning

Amerikanske myndigheter har oppdaget en kinesisk skadelig programvare skjult i infrastruktur som forsyner strøm, vann og kommunikasjon til militærbaser i USA.

Det melder The New York Times (NYT).

Amerikansk etterretning frykter at skadevaren gjør det mulig for Kina å forstyrre eller forsinke amerikanske militære operasjoner, for eksempel i forbindelse med et kinesisk angrep på Taiwan.

Biden-administrasjonen er nå på jakt etter datakoden som de tror Kina har gjemt dypt inne i nettverk som kontrollerer strømnettet, vannforsyninger og kommunikasjonssystemer til militærbaser i USA.

Konsekvensene av skadevaren kan imidlertid bli langt mer omfattende fordi den samme infrastrukturen også forsyner sivilsamfunnet.

Japan doesn’t mess around or mix words in their newest Defense of Japan 2023 white paper.

It’s crystal clear from the recently released strategy document that the country is pursuing new prioritises in long-distance counter-defence, proactive diplomacy and increased defence spending.

It’s also obvious that those priorities are aimed at concerns it has about China, Russia, North Korea and the potential threat of invasion. In fact it mentions China more than 60 times across the briefing.

That’s certainly something to be admired of in Australia where our very own Defence Strategic Review names China a measly nine times and skirts around the issue with a well-practiced ‘Australia will continue to cooperate with China where we can, disagree where we must’ company line.

From the DSR's wording perhaps we are not justifing a military build-up in the Indo-Pacific and it's simply the case that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese would just really like to have a few conventionally armed, nuclear propelled submarines sitting in the backyard?

Alternatively Japan’s white paper directly confronts North Korea’s military activities as a grave and imminent threat to Japan’s national security, Russia’s military activities in the Indo-Pacific as a strong security concern and China’s external stance and military activities as a matter of serious concern and the greatest strategic challenge.

In particular, the report outlines concerns about continued Chinese attempts to change the status quo of the Senkaku Islands and the modernisation of Russian military equipment in Japan’s northern territories and the Chishima Islands.
