How DJBH, the “Three Harmonizations and Six Defenses” doctrine, and Digital Security ERP transform private companies into an operational arm of state cyber defense The cybersecurity landscape in China is defined by a national integration strategy that transcends the traditional separation between the private sector and the state defense apparatus. Far from being a mere commercial relationship, this synergy is the result of an explicit regulatory framework that inextricably li

The competition between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the West has now taken on the form of Liminal Warfare , a systemic conflict in which the future of the global order is at stake. Since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the Chinese leadership has translated its desire for power into an explicit geostrategic doctrine: global technological dominance , with the stated goal of surpassing the United States and establishing a new Sinocentric world order (the conc

Although the Chinese company has always denied the cyber threat, the arrival of ZPMC cranes reopens international alarm over the CCP's cyber “Trojan horse.” The current geopolitical and security scenario sees the maritime sector emerging as a crucial battleground for strategic competition, particularly with the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its state-owned enterprises. The imminent arrival of new Chinese-made yard cranes (E-RTGs) at the Vecon-PSA Venice terminal i

The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE)  has emerged as a typical representative of new quality productive forces  and a strategic emerging industry for China. It is not merely a new economic sector, but a vital engine  for promoting high-quality economic development and achieving the national strategic goal of technological self-reliance and self-improvement . Analysts define the LAE as a comprehensive economic formation  whose essence is low-altitude flight activity , whose carrier

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transcended its role as a mere emerging technology to become the driving force behind a total revolution  that is rewriting the rules of the game on a global scale. China is acutely aware of this, and has openly declared that AI presents a critical historical opportunity to rebuild its innovation system from the ground up  and firmly establish itself as a global science and technology powerhouse . The core of this ambition is the "AI Plus" (or

The rise of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS)  is not merely a chronicle of Chinese technological success, but the palpable manifestation of a strategic imperative for autarky  imposed by the leadership of Xi Jinping . Starting from the necessity to eliminate a crippling technological vulnerability—reliance on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) controlled by foreign powers—China has forged Beidou into an instrument of Information Sovereignty  ( 信息主权 ) and,

The Formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030): The Inevitable Merger of Security and Development in Xi Jinping's Imperial Mandate The global geopolitical landscape has been unequivocally redefined by the outcomes of the Fourth Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) , which concluded in Beijing in October 2025. The immediate context is marked by the public release today, October 28, 2025 , of the two documents that constitute the id

The world has entered a phase of profound and structural strategic competition between great powers , where confrontation is no longer limited to the traditional economic or military spheres but is increasingly fought on the ground of technological supremacy and institutional shaping . This new scenario, often described as "targeted decoupling" or "institutional warfare," has triggered a radical transformation in the landscape of global Science and Technology (S&T) governance
