Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit
InfiniteZero writes "China has admitted for the first time that it had poured massive investment into the formation of a 30-strong commando unit of cyberwarriors — a team supposedly trained to protect the People's Liberation Army from outside assault on its networks."
An adversary's Command & Control has always been a prime military target. Why should it be any different in an information age? The only thing that surprises me is the relatively small number of 30 (admitted) members in the unit. I'd bet even money that every single major government in the world has such a cyber unit and probably much larger (*cough* US *cough*) in scale.
what could be more 'cyber' than that?
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.
I meditate to regain my mana, before casting Lvl. 8 chicken of the Infinite.
If the US and China compete militarily, many people in BOTH Military-Industrial Complexes benefit.
Keep it from being a shooting war and it's one fine welfare program for the beneficiaries.

Spoken Chinese is "highly contextual". (Which is a linguist's euphemism for "vague").
"30" means "30 of whatever the logical unit is". 30 people. 30 platoons. 30 wan (= 30 * 10,000).
Whatever.
Point of interest, a very common Chinese phrase is "weishemenibugaosouwo" (I think that's spelled right). It means "Why didn't you tell me?"
