Reuters: This year's report said that China can launch what it termed "soft and hard electronic attacks", including blocking communications across the western part of the first island chain, the string of islands that run from the Japanese archipelago, through Taiwan and down to the Philippines.

China "can combine with its internet army to launch wired and wireless attacks against the global internet, which would initially paralyse our air defences, command of the sea and counter-attack system abilities, presenting a huge threat to us".

Chinese spies in Taiwan could launch a "decapitation strike" to destroy political and economic infrastructure.

Doesn't sound very rosy. China turns off the internet then launches a "decapitation strike". Hopefully they're working on plans to thwart that.
