...but China is the ‘epoch-defining’ challenge. 

The people of China and the Chinese community overseas have contributed greatly to life here in the UK. ... We want to engage with China where it’s mutually beneficial. Like tackling climate change, engaging in safe trade, and AI safety. ... But as the Prime Minister said recently… the leadership of the People’s Republic of China, the PRC, is "increasingly working with others to try and reshape the world.” 

… and we now devote more resource to China than any other single mission. 

 Through their coercive and destabilising actions, the PRC poses a significant risk to international norms and values. In cyberspace, we believe that the PRC’s irresponsible actions weaken the security of the internet for all. China has built an advanced set of cyber capabilities and is taking advantage of a growing commercial ecosystem of hacking outfits and data brokers at its disposal. China poses a genuine and increasing cyber risk to the UK. 

The PRC is looking to shape global technology standards in its own favour, seeking to assert its dominance within the next 10 to 15 years. Which is why the UK intelligence community is working alongside our allies in the Five Eyes and beyond, and also in partnership with industry and academic colleagues, to deter and combat cyber threats from nation states and hostile actors. 

We have repeatedly called out Chinese cyber adversaries for activities that threaten the security of the UK…

Quando manca qualcosa all'improvviso in casa il primo pensiero va ai cinesi.

Poi ad Amazon. Ed eventualmente al negozietto sotto casa.

I cinesi agiscono in blocco. Sono dappertutto. Si adattano.

Noi invece abbiamo sviluppato l'orientamento alla diversificazione.

Pensiamo a blocchi.

Quindi non ci resta che corrergli dietro.
