Abstract
China defines Information Warfare (IW) as the neuro-system (the eyes and ears) of the services’ military operation systems. China’s IW encompasses C4ISR (Command and Control, Communications, Computing, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance), electronic warfare, network warfare, and other related matters. According to the literature, the concept of IW was first proposed in China by Shen Wei Kuan, a low-ranking officer of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in 1985. However, at that time China did not possess the necessary technological infrastructure and it also lacked any in-depth investigation into the overall IW architecture to take a lead in the research and development (R&D) of this new military scientific theory and technology. In addition, China’s traditional social system and governing ideology could not adapt to the new IW ideas which had emerged within a more liberal American culture.
