An anonymous reader writes "A new paper argues that China's cyber warfare ability is actually pretty poor and the country has evinced little proficiency with sophisticated hacking techniques and its viruses and Trojan Horses have been easy to detect and remove before any damage has been done or data stolen.
"There is no evidence that China’s cyber-warriors can penetrate highly secure networks or covertly steal or falsify critical data, the paper reads.
"They would be unable to systematically cripple selected command and control, air defence and intelligence networks and databases of advanced adversaries, or to conduct deception operations by secretly manipulating the data in these networks.”"
