Decoding the Virtual Dragon

Decoding the Virtual Dragon explains how Chinese IW concepts since 2003 fit into the strategic outlook, practices, and activities of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The book offers IW explanations directly from the pens of Chinese experts. The Chinese authors discuss the application or relation of Information Warfare to strategic thought, the transformation plans of the PLA, the revolution in military affairs, and the revolution in knowledge warfare and cognition. The book thus serves as a source for the fundamentals of Chinese military thought and demonstrates how Information Warfare/Information Operations has been integrated into the art of war and strategy.
