Chinese Envoy Dai Bing: ““The way the situation in Afghanistan has transpired recently is proof that foreign military intervention and the imposition of a ‘democratic transformation’ program does nothing to help solve any problem.”

Wars that are a continuation of politics by states have practically always been waged according to special rules of warfare, by a specially trained state organization: the army. Analysis of the international situation that has evolved lately shows that the military conflicts occurring in the world are fundamentally different from the classical war type. New-type conflicts lack the uniformity of organized force traditionally represented by the state. Instead, they feature nonstate entities as initiators of organized action and the employment of nonmilitary methods of confrontation along with traditional military methods.

The radical transformation of international relations and the emergence of new types of conflicts are urging Russian military science to step up research on strategic culture.
Xinhua: The US government recently rejected a Russian proposal to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty for at least one year without conditions. Hegemony-minded Washington poses the gravest threat to global strategic security and stability.
This paper examines China’s approaches to conducting information warfare in present-day conditions.
