In February 1999, two Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) senior Air Force Colonels, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, published Unrestricted Warfare. When one reads this work, and based on its content, it is a valid observation that, when people begin to lean toward, and rejoice in the reduced use of military force to resolve conflicts, war will be reborn in another form, and in another arena, becoming an instrument of enormous power in the hands of all those who have intentions of controlling other countries or regions.
It may also be concluded from the writings that war has undergone the changes of modern technology, and the market systems will be launched even more in atypical forms. In other words, whilst the world is observing a relative reduction in military violence, conjoined with this silhouette, we are seeing an increase in political, economic, and technological violence.
At this juncture it may also be opportune to look back at the events of the Titan Rain attack circa 2007, when the Chinese government was accused of conducting cyber-attacks against government installations in the UK, US, and Germany to name but a few.
My biggest concern though is in the area of state-owned, supported industries being granted contracts to build and operate critical infrastructure, such as nuclear facilities, on UK soil. However, as if this proposition were not enough to contend with, my worry was further exacerbated by a comment made by a UK Government Minister, who stated that such concerns were unfounded because of the stringent security controls imposed on such critical facilities and assets.
