Yesterday, the United States published its International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy, hitting out specifically, among other actors, on China, for presenting the “broadest, most active, and most persistent cyber threat to government and private sector networks in the United States.” It is important to note that above all else, the US places China as a priority threat actor in cyberspace, replacing the relatively regular Russian and North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat actors (APTs).
Further, the Strategy document laments the differences in ideological and policy approaches between China and the US, when it comes to governing digital spaces. It argues, “Russia, the PRC, and other authoritarian states have promoted a vision of global Internet governance that centers on domestic control and top-down, state-centric mechanisms over the existing bottom-up multi-stakeholder processes.”
