China's big threat to peace in 2030

China, U.S. Spar Over South China Sea Disputes

IT’S a scary but potentially very real threat facing the world by 2030.

In fact one expert warns China’s cyber war capabilities will in the future be more dangerous than anything else currently taking place across the region.

By the next decade, Beijing’s cyber war capabilities could change the strategic balance in Asia, eclipsing the potential danger of rising tensions in the South China Sea.

That is the view of cyber security expert Greg Austin who predicts new technologies will “redefine both war and politics across East Asia”.

The professor of cyber security, strategy and diplomacy in the Australian Centre for Cyber Security at the University of NSW told news.com.au that while tensions were simmering in the South China Sea, the biggest threat to peace in the region was yet to come.

“Today, China is struggling to integrate cyber weapons and information dominance into its military strategies,” he said.
