Hmmm... that's interesting -- China has recently been making noise
about information warfare, as well. The following articles appeared in the
Washington Times a couple of weeks ago:

CHINA PLOTS WINNING ROLE IN CYBERSPACE MILITARY PAPER CITES NEED FOR
`PARALYZING' INTERNET SOFTWARE

China is preparing to carry out high-technology warfare over the
Internet and could develop a fourth branch of the armed services devoted to
information warfare, according to a Chinese military newspaper.

An article in Thursday's Liberation Army Daily, the official daily newspaper
of the People's Liberation Army General Political Department, said Internet
warfare should be equated with combat operations for air, land and sea forces.

INTERNET WARFARE CONCERNS ADMIRAL CHINA'S STANCE VIEWED AS THREAT

The Pentagon's top intelligence official said yesterday that China's announced
plans to conduct "Internet warfare" poses a future threat to U.S. military
dominance on the battlefield.

"We are clearly interested and concerned about this whole idea of information
attack," Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson, the new director of the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), said in an interview.

While China isn't exactly known for its hacker-ish expertise,
especially when it comes to network security, it's interesting to see that
they are at least trying to frighten the rest of the world into believing that
they pose a threat.

Unfortunately, the "Information Warfare" miniatures game gets REALLY boring
very quickly...:)
