21st Century Chinese Cyberwarfare by Lieutenant Colonel William Hagestad examines China’s cyber strategy, outlining its historical, cultural, and military context. It details China’s cyber doctrines, government and hacker collaborations, and nationalistic motives behind cyber threats. Targeted at security professionals, military personnel, and policy makers, the book provides insights into the structure and objectives of China’s cyber initiatives and the economic and security risks posed globally.

The threat of Chinese Cyberwarfare can no longer be ignored. It is a clear and present danger to the experienced and innocent alike and will be economically, societally and culturally changing and damaging for the nations that are targeted.
