The Huawei Affair and China's Technology Ambitions
China is seeking to shape the global information- and communication-technology environment in ways favourable to its own interests
Xi Jinping
Like his American counterpart, Chinese President Xi Jinping wants to make his country great again. But there is a crucial difference: Xi has a strategy
Brexit and Security
The adverse tactical implications of Brexit for European security will be real but ultimately manageable. The strategic implications may be more significant
Chinese Culture and Soft Power
China’s spiritual gap has to date largely been met by a combination of Christianity and traditional Chinese belief systems. Both present challenges to the Communist Party
Measuring Military Cyber Power
Understanding how and why cyber capabilities are developed and deployed is becoming a critical element in determining the power dynamics between states

Information Warfare and the US Presidential Election
If the Russian state was indeed behind the leaking of Democratic National Committee emails, it may have overplayed its hand
Coming to Terms with Chinese Power
Western policymakers must understand that there can never be a trouble-free relationship with China. Sooner or later, they will have to take a firm stand on issues of genuine concern
Cyber Attacks in La-La Land
Hollywood has not been slow to exploit the cinematic potential of cyber attacks. Now it has become the victim of one
The Snowden Revelations
Snowden did not understand much of the material he stole, and the same is true of the newspapers that published it. Nuanced debate must start with an understanding based on facts
Chinese Intelligence in the Cyber Age
Conflict Foretold
In his novella Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells the story of two brothers who are driven to murder the man who they believe has deflowered their sister. Everyone in the s
The Enigma of Pakistan

A Decade of Intelligence
Al-Qaeda spun out of the anti-Soviet jihad which, during the 1980s, attracted many thousands of volunteers from around the Islamic world. Few of these volunteers actually fought in Afghanistan. Mos
The Death of Osama bin Laden

China in Cyberspace
Over the past four years concern has grown about what is perceived in the West to be an increasingly aggressive cyber threat emanating from China. The overall impression is that China, which now has close to 400 million Internet users, has become something of a cyber superpower. But while it is highly probable that the Chinese state is exploiting Western vulnerabilities in the cyber domain both to collect with minimal risk valuable scientific, te…
