Abstract
This chapter looks at how well prepared the Chinese government is to defend its various cyber assets. These range across internal security, leadership security, national defence, and protection of critical information infrastructure. There are competing tensions between the different strands of policy. Moreover, everything that seems largely domestic has an inescapable international dimension, and vice versa.
