People’s War was originally considered a military concept suited to the traditional battleelds of mainland China, involving the mobilization of the massive populace in order for the inferior forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to defeat a superior adversary. However, in the past few decades, this tradition of People’s War has not merely been useful for developing military strategy, but has also been applicable to many other national developments, such as economics, social modernization, and government and public affairs, as a vital “behind-the-scenes” guideline to garner a certain consensus from the Chinese people in order to carry out the policies that the Chinese government wishes to implement. In particular, this tradition can be perfectly applied to China’s cyber warfare in the digital age, as the strategic value of cyberspace has removed the restriction of traditional geographic barriers and borders between states. Thus, the potential masses of Chinese “cyber warriors” can carry out attacks geographically unhindered in cyberspace. It is thus of global signicance that China, a rising world superpower, is currently expending great effort on developing warfare in cyberspace. This paper investigates how China’s fundamental strategic doctrine, People’s War—which is traditionally based upon geographical battlegrounds—can be integrated into the concept of cyberspace as a potential battlefield. Meanwhile, some interviews were also conducted in Taiwan in order to further dissect some thematic propositions merged from documentary resources.
Abstract
People’s War was originally considered a military concept suited to the traditional battleelds of mainland China, involving the mobilization of the massive populace in order for the inferior forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to defeat a superior adversary. However, in the past few decades, this tradition of People’s War has not merely been useful for developing military strategy, but has also been applicable to many other national developments, such as economics, social modernization, and government and public affairs, as a vital “behind-the-scenes” guideline to garner a certain consensus from the Chinese people in order to carry out the policies that the Chinese government wishes to implement. In particular, this tradition can be perfectly applied to China’s cyber warfare in the digital age, as the strategic value of cyberspace has removed the restriction of traditional geographic barriers and borders between states. Thus, the potential masses of Chinese “cyber warriors” can carry out attacks geographically unhindered in cyberspace. It is thus of global signicance that China, a rising world superpower, is currently expending great effort on developing warfare in cyberspace. This paper investigates how China’s fundamental strategic doctrine, People’s War—which is traditionally based upon geographical battlegrounds—can be integrated into the concept of cyberspace as a potential battlefield.
