The Information and PSY Wars of the Future: Chinese Cyber Troops

Modern information and communication technologies make it possible to reprogram a person faster and cheaper than to kill. Cyberwar is becoming the dominant type of information warfare and its strategic goal is to achieve spiritual, political and economic power. Network-centric technologies are most effective here. A special place on cyber warfare is occupied by psychotropic weapons, which provide an impact on the ethnic, religious and collective psychology of citizens of the “enemy” territory. External forces form a model of behavior through the manipulation of major power and other social groups. The battle for dominance in cyberspace has begun, primarily between the United States and China. Despite the absolute leadership of the USA in the field of Internet technologies, Communist China began to prepare for network wars. The Chinese army, technically losing to the Americans in conventional and nuclear weapons, began to invest in the latest technology. At the same time, the Chinese have relied on an offensive war in cyberspace. Realizing that China’s path to a superpower will continue to be a weak spot for military power compared with the United States, China has made asymmetric deterrence a key element of its military strategy by creating cyber divisions. The Chinese cyber strategy “kick from the corner” is the most predicted scenario for the future blitzkrieg.


Introduction
Cyber war is not only hacking other people's information resources to obtain information of interest or making them unusable at least for a while. Cyber warfare is a special method of fighting countries, complementing the previously existing methods of delivering physical attacks, but this time in cyberspace [1]. This is especially important in our century of a sharp separation of the USA in military power from other countries, which determined the search in these countries for different options for asymmetric answers. In this regard, China is no exception, although the power of its Armed Forces is large enough, but not enough to reach a direct traditional confrontation. To understand the options for asymmetric answers, in this case Chinese, let us first consider the general situation characteristic of cyberspace. The number of Internet users over the next decade has exceeded 1.5 billion, which is approximately 25% of the world's population. At the same time, the share of the United States is declining due to the growth of users mainly in the Asia-Pacific region.
As a result of the information revolution, a global network society has emerged. Washington was convinced that in the World Wide Web, owning information, he would "forever" rule the world.

The philosophy of Information and PSY Wars of the People's Republic of China (PRC)
In a clash with the Soviet Union in the late 1960s, the PRC leadership learned that in the fight against an enemy equipped with modern technology, the direct path of confrontation is not the best.
Since the late 1990s, the Chinese strategic doctrine has seen the rise of the theory of unilateral warfare, using several multidirectional attacks of a non-military direction to achieve military results, for example, damage to communications or the financial infrastructure of the state. Cyber war is the central element of a one-way combat strategy. The Chinese military developed many theories about modern war a decade ago, and now you can see how events are "played out" and cyber war plays a key role in them. The Chinese textbook on military science and military strategy notes that "war is not only armed struggle, but also all-round competition on the fronts of politics, economics, diplomacy and law". The concept of "Three Wars" calls for the use of "psychological warfare", which means propaganda, deceit, threats and coercion, "media war", influencing public opinion and gathering public support at home and abroad, and a "legal warfare" that uses international and domestic judicial instruments to promote Chinese national interests.

Types of Information Weapons of China
The most promising types of information weapons in China The general idea of these works is to integrate hardwarecontrolled software agents into high-performance microprocessors and graphic accelerators, whose work against the background of the general high performance of the microprocessor or accelerator will be invisible. This bookmarking work in equipment is led by Qin Bo Wu, Kylin's chief developer, who also leads the China's military intelligence hacker community. The line for introducing hardware bookmarks will be implemented, in particular, at the Taiwanese TSMC factory. On this occasion, the order of the military leadership of the PRC was given. Den Lu, deputy director of innovation at TSMC (Taiwan), a lieutenant colonel of Chinese military intelligence, is responsible for this work, previously actively participated in the creation of the hacker group "Red Dragon", which is now connected to the work of specialists from the 15th zone of NUDT. We should remember that the TSMC factory is 60% owned by China [3,4].

The Structure of China's Cyber Military Forces
In the PRC, the main structures responsible for ensuring information security, depending on the tasks to be solved, are

2) AirForce 2 nd TRB is the main training center for specialists
in the field of creating secure telecommunication systems, experts in the field of computer security for the needs of the Air Force of China. Located in Nanjing.

3)
AirForce 3d TRB is the main training center for hacking specialists. Here is created a "training cyber training ground" for training officers in the field of introducing information wars. Located in Chengdu.

4) Navy 1 st TRB is the main training center for specialists in the
field of radio reconnaissance, electronic warfare for the needs of the Navy of China. Located in Beijing.
