The Department of Defense\u2019s annual report on China\u2019s military and security developments provides new details about how China\u2019s military organizes its information warfare enterprise, an area that has been of particular interest to U.S. military leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2015, the People\u2019s Liberation Army created the Strategic Support Force, which centralizes space, cyber, electronic warfare and psychological warfare missions under a single organization. The Chinese have taken the view, according to the DoD and other outside national security experts, that information dominance is key to winning conflicts. This could be done by denying or disrupting the use of communications equipment of its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
