(Washington Times) [11.17.99] 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.

an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases
the information is more valuable than the hardware which
processes it. -- Adm. Grace Murray Hopper, USN Ret.
