China cyber attack claims are 'laughable nonsense', Australian Strategic Policy Institute says

An Australian defence think tank has rubbished Chinese claims that it is the only organisation suggesting China is behind cyber attacks on Australia.

Yesterday Prime Minister Scott Morrison said a foreign government was responsible for increasing cyber attacks on Australian governments and institutions, but did not name the country he believed was responsible.

However, Federal Government agencies believe China is the nation responsible.

On Friday evening China's foreign ministry denied the communist country was to blame, and said the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) think tank was the only organisation pointing to China.

"We've pointed out many times, this institute has long been receiving funding from US arms companies, and the attacks coming from the institute are completely baseless", said Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian.

On Saturday ASPI's executive director Peter Jennings described the Chinese claim as "laughable nonsense".

China is eyeing high-tech ‘surprise PEARL HARBOR’ attack on US electric grid… using ‘stolen’ American technology, report claims

Beijing might be plotting a first strike attack on the US, which would target the country’s electric grid with a large electromagnetic pulse (EMP), sending it into a massive blackout, a new report warns.

An analysis of the alleged Chinese attack plan was recently released by the EMP Task Force on Homeland and National Security – a non-government organization with a stated goal to bring together “citizens, engineers, field experts, and others” to reinforce the American power grid.

According to the report, penned by the group’s executive director Peter Pry, China will not shy away from launching a nuclear first strike against the United States, despite claiming to be bound by ‘No First Use’ (NFU) policy. Pry dismissed these assurances as mere bluffing.

China’s alleged nuclear ‘No First Use’ doctrine, like the USSR’s during the Cold War, is almost certainly disinformation

The ‘No First Use’ policy simply “does not withstand the test of common sense,” Pry argued, pointing out that China’s early warning capabilities lag far behind both that of Russia and the US, slashing its chances for a proper tit-for-tat attack.

China first renounced the idea of using nuclear weapons unless attacked back in the 1960s, while the USSR followed suit in the early 1980s. The United States, in contrast, has refused to adopt a similar policy, insisting on its “right” to nuke its adversaries if a conflict breaks out.

According to the report, Beijing plans to hit the US with EMP weapons which would fry the country’s electric grid, sending it into chaos and facilitating an all-out attack. The “Super-EMP” weaponry was developed in China “based on design information stolen from the US nuclear weapon labs,” Pry alleged. The US, as well as the USSR, tested such devices back in the 1960s.
