Chinese military scholars are advocating for stronger measures to protect their country from the so called a US-led "Internet war."
The call, which appeared on Friday in the Communist Party-controlled China Youth Daily newspaper, follows allegations from Google that personal Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including senior US government officials, were compromised by computer hackers in China. The allegations came shortly after US administration announced that severe IT hacks will be treated as an Act of War.
The scholars from the Academy of Military Sciences did not mention Google's claims, but said recent computer attacks and incidents employing the Internet to promote regime change in Arab nations appeared to trace back to Washington. They said China needs to erect an "Internet border" and defend its "Internet sovereignty."
The communist obviously would never want to see a Jasmine revolution in China,
