China's President Hu Talks IT Warfare

narramissic writes "In his keynote speech at the Communist Party Congress in October China's president Hu Jintao was specific in his references to one area of IT: defense. 'We must build strong armed forces through science and technology. To attain the strategic objective of building computerized armed forces and winning IT-based warfare, we will accelerate composite development of mechanization and computerization, carry out military training under IT-based conditions, modernize every aspect of logistics, intensify our efforts to train a new type of high-caliber military personnel in large numbers and change the mode of generating combat capabilities.'"

  1. We don't need no friggin Chinese cyber war... by oblonski · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The way these people treat those that do not agree with them, the fact that they have latched on to a strange ideology from somewhere outside their culture, and the impulse to wanna overrun, dominate and control everything and then use their massive amounts of resources (cause they're so huge to begin with) strikes me as just plain psychotic and mentally ill.

    What exactly are they after? Recognition? As being what? The most populous country on earth, the most violently repressive regime, the richest or the most powerful or the culturally superior? Pissing contests are sooo last millennium! Everyone knows China as the world's foremost assholes already, yet every major corporation and govt can't wait to enter the HUGE Chinese market. Just ask the Dalai Lama, a peaceful monk who sits and watches his breath all day and telling people to be nice to one another and what happened? His culture got destroyed and thousands of his people killed cause China needs more raw materials. Fuck them all to hell.

    If there is a clinical psychologist on slashdot, I would like to get some insight into these kinds of phenomena. But then again, most biological organisms with some semblance of rationality know that human beings will do their damndest to fuck themselves and this planet up gloriously.

    In Africa we see China involved in all sorts of very questionable maneouvres which only makes sense in a Machiavellian realpolitik type scenario. We now see the West scrambling to build a presence in Africa, with China closing more and more and bigger and better deals with the African monkeys who run their respective countries. Thus we see a situation where an insane lunatic like Robert Mugabe can still be invited to a world summit and tell the West to go fuck themselves cause China has made some strategic infrastructure and other trade and energy related investments and the West is trying to not let it slip too far toward the East.

    Of course there is also the threat from radical Islamic elements playing their sinister, poisonous games with the African monkeys' minds. And I am South African myself, but would rather be a wage slave in the US, UK, Australia or Canada and put up with the shortcomings of western capitalist democracy than anything these critters have to offer. Just by the statistics of Chinese and Muslims and whatever else not wants to get into the UK, US, EU or Australia/Canada with such a passion it is beyond reason, but ask any Muslim or Chinese or anyone who has gripes with the West and America why dont they go back to the holes they crept out of and leave the "corrupt" west to it's own devices. But I see Chinese and Muslims wearing Western clothes, speaking in Western languages and involved in all sorts of Western cultural activities. Something does not square up somewhere...

    Chinese, Muslim, Russian, Communists, whatever, I would rather die than subject myself to such soul-crushing insanity, I want to think and do and say as I fuckin feel like, within the limits of law and civilized human behaviour. I do not want to be dictated to by some asshole with a gun or strapped on explosives or whatever because I say or think differently. Why kill someone over a different neuronal firing pattern?

    No I think these guys are insane, the only reason I take them seriously is the unreasonable amount of damage and devastation they can cause with their evil "machinery", I say Nuke 'Em! (Kidding!!!)

    That's not the same as invading a country; killing all the leaders; and converting them to Christianity. Is it, now?

    The fact is, Christianity involves proselytizing (look it up, fucktard) to a far greater extent than many other world religions, especially Judaism. To become a Jew other than by birth is not easy; as a religion, Judaism has little interest in converting others to their faith. Much the same applies to many eastern religions, such as Jainism.

    Now, churl, I suggest you get your head out from Ms Coulter's cunt. It's particularly smelly up there, and you may catch somthing.

    You sure know how to spin a tale. Those people seem almost real. Whoa then, you should hurry up and go watch an American Idol marathon, wouldn't want you to be all upset by something real.

    Actually, if those people seem ALMOST real it's a sign that your programming is wearing off a bit, and you should report for a Limbaugh-O'Reily high-speed multi-media meme restoration treatment before you start believing in liberal conspiracies like 'facts' and 'evidence'.

    Give me a break, everybody the GP mentioned exists, to say otherwise is obscenely dishonest. Purposeful blindness isn't patriotism, it's childlike naivety. Take your 'my daddy can't be wrong' attitude back to elementary school and join the real world. Bad things happen other than those caused by terrrists and ferriners.
