China hopes to win the US with the help of satellites and si: how does the NVAK prepare for the war

China's army is actively using civilian technologies, especially in the field of intelligence, but analysts believe that the white house sanctions against the country's technosector can spoil everything. The forces of strategic support for the National Liberation Army of China (NVAK) use civil technologies to expand the possibilities of the PRC on cosmic, cyber, electromagnetic and psychological war, SCMP reports.

Last week, the NVAK announced the creation of strategic potential in developing regions to change the military balance between the PRC and the US, as the country faces the risks that the armed conflict can follow. Strategic support (SSP) has a task - to prepare NVAK for a future conflict, using new technological tools for intelligence and joint operations. The publication reminds that in 2015 Beijing created a new kind of troops - the forces of strategic support.

They are designed to expand the military capabilities of space, cyber, electromagnetic and psychological war. They are instructed to provide intelligence with all the NVAK forces, while helping in joint operations. The SSP oversees two departments: space forces and cybers. Space forces have a space systems department that manages several satellite centers, as well as training bases throughout China.

In their management, the creation, launch and operation of communication and intelligence satellites, the use of Beidou satellite navigation system in military operations. Like the US cyber team, China's cyber issues also include the Department of Network Systems, which is responsible for protecting and attacking opponents' computer networks, electromagnetic protection and attack, collecting reconnaissance data by intercepting signals.

Sam Bresnik, a researcher at the University of Security and New Technologies of the University of Georgetown (USA), believes that SSP plays a central role in the NVAC, especially when it comes to coordination of development and use of new opportunities in space, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), for example, for example Increasing the country's military potential and combating the so -called joint operations that the US is conducting with the allies.

According to analysts, the high -tech unit of SSP, which performs strategic functions in all structures of NVAK, is largely entrusted with the support of civilian technologies, such as the development of neurotrops. According to the Chinese military, the AI ​​plays an increasingly important role in the preparation of the Armed Forces for the coming war, especially in the field of intelligence.

However, analysts believe that a strong dependence of SSP on high technology can make them vulnerable, given that the United States continues to wage a sanction war with China. Earlier, we wrote that China would be left without laptops as the United States has updated restrictions on exports of Shi-chips. The US has intensified export restrictions on advanced processors in the PRC, and now the country cannot export laptops containing such processors.
