[While some here on ISN will think this is on the razors edge of
information security, I like to remind people that the Chinese Peoples

information warfare strategy to fight the next war with whoever, and
like most other PLA products, (Howitzers, missiles, assault rifles)
The PLA will likely sell this product and knowledge to other rogue
states like Iran, Iraq, & North Korea multiplying the potential future
IT threats for to have worry about. -WK]
Curious about possible future Chinese threats?
