China’s People’s Liberation Army has a specialized unit dedicated to launching cyberattacks, and its main target is the United States. U.S. intelligence agencies warn that China operates on a scale so sophisticated it could bring down the entire American electrical grid.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned the Senate Armed Services Committee in September that the Chinese have the ability to launch “a massive Armageddon-like attack against our infrastructure.”
China has the ability to shut down or cripple the American power grid and other critical infrastructure within the US – and it would all be done through cyberattacks, top-ranking government officials in both countries say.
President Obama is so concerned about Chinese cyberwarfare that he raised the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a September meeting in Washington, CNBC reported. During the meeting the two leaders failed to reach an agreement on power grid attacks but did agree not to steal intellectual property.
Frighteningly, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has acknowledged that it has a massive cyberwarfare effort and extensive cyberwarfare capabilities. It did so in an official document, the Science of Military Strategy, that also outlines Chinese military philosophy and strategic thinking. It indicates that China’s military commanders view cyberattacks as a legitimate weapon of war. Intelligence experts consider the document to be an outline of China’s military strategy.
“This is the first time we’ve seen an explicit acknowledgement of the existence of China’s secretive cyberwarfare forces from the Chinese side,” intelligence analyst Joe McReynolds told The Daily Beast in March.
China’s cyberwarfare efforts would include the targeting of critical infrastructure such as the electric power grid, McReynolds said.
Michael Rogers, National Security Agency (NSA) director and US Cyber Command commander, did not mention China during testimony before a House committee but did acknowledge – upon questioning — that some nations essentially can turn the grid “off.”
“Once you’re in the system … it enables you to do things like, if I want to tell power turbines to go offline and to stop generating power, you can do that,” Rogers said. “It enables you to shut down very segmented, very tailored parts of our infrastructure.”
Why You Should Be Concerned
There is some evidence that Chinese hackers may have already gained access to critical infrastructure in the US.
Some disturbing incidents uncovered by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and revealed toDefense One included:
US Chinese Tensions Growing
Tensions between the US and China have been growing because of disputes over artificial islands in the South China Sea. The Chinese claim parts of the sea are their territory, while the US says the specific parts of the sea are international waters.
Meanwhile, five Chinese naval vessels came within 12 naval nautical miles of US territory in early September, The New York Times reported. The US Defense Department stated that put the ships in US territorial waters off the coast of Alaska.

If you rely on a well for your water, you may want to check out the Emergency Well Tube (www.emergencywelltube.com). An event like this could result in an extended outage that may outlast the fuel supply for a generator. Municipal water systems will ultimately fail in this type of scenario, so having a barter item to secure water for your family may be something to consider as well.
rolls eyes
the Chinese,unlike you,Due,are not warlords and warmongers.They have taken over the US economy already,why would they engage their army? When the time is right,you will beg them to come to America and leave their money there,be them tourists,buyers(with HUGE money) or just visiting their families in Chinatown.It will be the same with Russians,with their HUGE money,Indians or Pollacks,who own the entire Chicago by now.So maybe instead of selling your fear porn,why don’t you come up with some remedy for your contry,huh?
Ok to any vets of this site how many times has stuff liked this come to be true?
The Chinese can and will take out America. They are just waiting for the right time.
Like:
Economic collapse.
Disarming the American people and thus CIVIL WAR on her soil.
Negro proclaims a turd term.
Currency war declared.
There are many Different ways that can be used to destroy America as it sits this October 2015. Gates of hell open by Barack Obama. Gave the world to Vladimir Putin from the very beginning of his term
You can thank you chief Muslim in charge for this . 2013 November while most of America was eating turkey dinner our officials was showing Chinese our power grids and how they worked . They said in case of some disaster they could come and turn them off ! Well the disaster will be from them and thy plan to turn them off . Now think about this we are told we borrowed trillions from China . So by many kissing their butts they own us , right . Wrong ! no entity by our constitution shall own or control America . But wait we don’t need to borrow money , our government or the Feds print up what is needed since gold does not need to back the paper . So what the hell is this ? Our Muslim chief has been setting America up to be taken over ! And yes gold is actually supposed to be coins that stand for themselves . What we have now by our constitution is treason committed by the shadow government set up 1871 to side step the constitution . Don’t believe it ? Your chief has side stepped the constitution with executive orders which is illegal . I understand that around 110 of them , maybe more now . For those not knowing the NWO is by the Vatican a descendant of Esau . The Un is a set up by the Vatican and Ishmael ( Muslims ) not the Jewish family Rothschild . They fought each other down through the years . Finally they drew up a peace treaty . But NWO actions are dividing the peace treaty . The NWO is heading the world into a direction to destroy Israel and Judea . Israel is Ephraim and Manasseh sons of Joseph . Judea in Israel is their uncle . The UN Christmas 2014 ( this past Christmas ) told Ishmael chief of America to take Americas guns . He has brought in foreign troops to get the job done . And more keep pouring in . Where is the pentagon that defends our constitution and American citizens ? These actions need to stop ! America is not to be down graded to serve other nations . We are the super power ! Our idiots are bowing to Esau , Vatican and Ishmael , Muslims . And these refugees will kill American when they come . You think we have shooting now . Thir Koran tells them to kill you because you don’t worship the sun and the rock in the tower they march around once a year . Russia is destroying Isis , good ! But our chief a Muslim too hates this . This is his team . Remember they are not terriost ! Really ! So I look for this stupid to start a war with Russia and China . At first he was bringing them into America to destroy America ( Ephraim ) . But now they have gotten wise to him playing them . Now they are wiping out Isis . So he will have America defend his boys , you know the ones that cut off heads and shot many . A statement by Russia was made when the government starts rounding up the American citizens Russia will fight in the streets with American people to stop this Muslim extremist who has order 30,000 guillotines for Americans . I really don’t know ! But the war that is about to start is because of pride that has been damaged . At first 15,000 Russians troops were order by executive orders to protect him from the American people 2012 in May . Since then over 100,000 have been brought in . But if America goes to war with Russia then what are these troops going to do ? Fight everyone that is American or just the government as was said ? You know they say or so the spy said nukes are already planted in major cities of America . We still out number them here . And they can’t get enough boats and planes to out number 320 million people of America . But the flying weapons may present a problem . And the planted nukes. But if lights go out then communication between us will be rough . We wont know what is happening . How are those on the sea coast going to tell us farther in land they are here ? They will be fighting with them themselves . All because our chief saw his brethren Isis being destroyed . Russia set him up and trained him . And now he is turning against them . And they eill deal eith him . What a well thought out plan . This leaves no evidence and makes it look like he was the evil one that started all this . He has been used !

needed to lose some weight anyways
Arh! It brings you in to the new worlds.
Hasn’t one learned yet that one doesn’t ever believe what this gubberment say’s and that it’s more likely that that’s what they intend to do themselves.
China did not do 9/11 and Russia did not do 9/11
That leaves Saudi Arabia if you subscribe to the offical story because you don’t understand physics or it was Israel that done it.
Now we are selling weapons to our Saudi frinds and want to attack Russia for going after ISIS.
Time and again the poster points the finger at everyone but the right people
Yeah go China, the world will be a better place without America sticking there nose where it ain’t wanted.
If China took out America who would buy all their crap ? Russia LMMFAO
Why does there always have to be a religious spin on issues such as this ? Can someone honestly give me a logical answer ? I see subjects like this which just so happen to be selling a book .How convenient ….Oh and some iodine pills and radioactivity detectors etc etc.While some of those items may not be on this site Ive seen others do the same and it sickens me.I see this fear porn all the time and wonder what it will take for people to wake up and realize they’ve been had by clever people preying on their fears.As someone has already logically pointed out…Why would China even be interested in something like this to begin with ? Considering the massive amount of real estate they already own within this nation and not to mention they want their debts paid back in full at some point maybe in the next century.As for their ability to do as the author says ..This is very old news and has been an ability for many nations for years including our own so called moral nation.We could take out any nation that has been stupid enough to link everything together on the net including home grown terrorists.Other nations rightfully decided not to cross link everything just because they can because they know full well that automatically creates a door for someone to come in and wreak havoc .It would be wiser to have several non grid connected systems as a redundancy back up system such as micro hydro,solar generator systems,etc.While we may be sitting ducks for the next techno terrorist,we are also setting ourselves up for massive failure whenever the sun decides to belch out a violent storm our way combined with a nasty EMP that will devastate the world economies in one swift blow and send us back to the 1800s in one fell swoop.Our systems are not grounded well enough and not enough has been done by the power industry to correct this issue.All vehicles with electronic ignitions,all airplanes, and pretty much everything that has a microchip is going to have a bad day when it happens.If China or some rogue nation or group really wants to put the hurt on the USA all they need to do is blow up a nuke high over the US which would achieve the same as a solar storm but way more target specific.Also any hack on our system will be backtracked and wouldn’t be too hard to figure out who did it and then a counter strike would ensue.This is why it hasn’t happened yet.The Chinese are very smart people and have excellent military tacticians.They are not suicidal,they just want to make money and do business as they have for thousands of years now.
