China armed forces plan improved cyber security
China's military forces will ramp up their cyber security and speed domestic development of software, the country’s state media said in a statement yesterday.
The plan underscores China's increasingly vocal concern that the internet is dominated by Western powers and values.
"Information security must be considered an underlying project in military battle preparedness," the official People's Liberation Army Daily said. "We will strongly advance the domestic and independent building of programs, and strengthen the foundations of our information security," it added. President Xi Jinping, who also heads the military, heads the government’s body for internet security which aims to turn China into a "cyber power".
