【新唐人2013年05月09日訊】美國國防部5月6號，發佈「2013年中國軍力和防務發展報告書」。報告除重點介紹中國空軍和海軍力量增長，還曝光了中國去年的軍費支出，數字比北京公布的高出許多。除此之外，美國國防部首次公開指責中國黑客攻擊。美國對中共進行的網路攻擊，要展開還擊了嗎？請看專家的分析。

美國國防部本週一，在華盛頓發表了一份將近100頁的報告。報告中說，在過去幾年，北京發起了持續長久的黑客攻擊活動，目地是更加全面的了解美國的外交政策及軍力。

報告說：「2012年，世界各地的大量計算機系統，包括美國政府名下的系統，持續成為侵入目標，其中一些看來可直接歸咎於中國（共）政府和軍方。」

華盛頓之前曾呼籲北京，應該對偷竊網絡信息的行為加以管制。但當時的美方代表只提到涉及經濟領域的黑客襲擊。這是美國政府在歷史上第一次「明確指責」中共對美國發起網路攻擊。

美國《中國事務》雜誌主編伍凡：「中共的網絡攻擊，它並不想破壞你，它首先目前的目標，不是破壞你，而是想要偷你的東西。」

據了解，美國遭受的網路間諜活動有90%源自中國，但這次五角大樓向國會提交的年度「中國軍力報告」中，如此直白的指責，非比尋常。

美國網絡安全公司(Mandiant)曾表示，位於上海浦東的61398部隊，可能是中國大陸官方的「黑客部隊」。美國中文雜誌《中國事務》主編伍凡表示，美國在幾年前，開始對中共的黑客活動提出警告，但是，中共不裡不睬，繼續攻擊和偷襲情報。伍凡說，美國可能開始反擊了。

伍凡：「現在美國人已經受夠了，不耐煩了，已經知道你再這樣做下去，對它警告是沒有用的。所以美國人下一步一定會反擊。現在這次2013 年的國防部對美國國會的軍事報告裡邊，我看明明白白的指名道姓的提出來，就是下一步要開始還擊了，這個還擊，美國手段是足夠的，所以一旦反擊起來，中國它能不能受得了，我不知道。」

美國《華盛頓郵報》5月6號也報導說，五角大樓發出美國政府對北京至今為止最清晰的公開指控。

美國國家安全局(National Security Agency)局長基思．亞歷山大 (Keith Alexander) 上將，同時兼任軍方快速壯大的「網路戰」司令部指揮官。他最近告訴國會，他正在創立12個以上的網路攻擊部門，必要時針對外國的計算機網路發動攻擊。

美國國防部的報告指出，中共發動網路間諜行為的目地是，為中國的武器以及技術行業收集美國軍備的信息，同時，窺探美國政府在諸多中國問題上的立場，並了解美國是怎樣看待中國軍隊。報告指稱，通過黑客攻擊，中國的軍事戰略家們能夠對美國的軍力有所了解，而這些信息「在危機爆發時則能夠派上用場」。

此外，報告中還披露，中國去年的軍費支出在1020億到1630億歐元之間，比北京公布的官方數字要高出許多。中共當局今年3月公布的軍費才900億歐元。

相對於中國公布的數字來講，伍凡認為美國公布的數字更接近實際。

伍凡：「我個人認為可能還不止這個，因為中國這麼樣的大力發展海面、海上以及陸地、空中太空，整個立體，再包括網路，它全面的來進行推動發展，它不僅僅是軍事工業，還發展它的材料，還包括交通，運輸，你要去挖山坑，儲藏武器」

近年來，中國大陸軍費問題一直受到外界的關注和質疑，國際社會普遍認為，中共的實際軍費開銷，應該是公布的國防預算的兩倍到三倍。

United States Set to Counterattack China’s Hackers

On May 6th, the U.S. Department of Defense published

a report on China’s military power and defense in 2013.

It highlighted the increase in China’s air and naval forces,

including its military spending,

which was much higher than that in Beijing’s report.

In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense publicly

accused China’s hackers of cyber-attacks, for the first time.

Will the US be fighting back against China’s cyber-attacks?

—Let’s see the expert analyses.

The U.S. Department of Defense in Washington

has released a near 100-page report saying that

Beijing has been launching long-term hacking activities

for years,

to get a comprehensive understanding of U.S. foreign policy

and military power.

It reported: “In 2012, a large number of computer systems

worldwide, including many of the U.S. government systems,

have been targeted by hackers; some of which seemed to

directly come from the Chinese government and military."

Washington had previously called on Beijing

to control the hacking activities of network information.

However, the U.S. representative at the time

referred only to attacks of the economic field.

Now, for the first time in the history, the U.S. government

has explicitly accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)

of launching cyber-attacks on the United States.

[Wu Fan, Editor-in-Chief of Chinese affairs]:

“The goal of the CCP’s network attacks is not to destroy

its target, but to steal from it."

It’s understood that 90% of internet espionage

in the U.S. has come from China,

but such a blatant accusation in the annual China Military

Power Report is unprecedented.

Network security company Mandiant says, troops in Pudong,

Shanghai, are likely to be mainland official hackers.

Wu Fan says, the US began warning the CCP

regarding hacking activities some years ago

but the CCP have ignored the warnings and have continued,

so the United States may now begin fighting back.

[Wu Fan]: “Americans have had enough and

they already know that

the Chinese will keep attacking—warnings are useless;

the next step for the Americans will be to fight back.

Now, in the U.S. military report to the Congress,

the Department of Defense has openly named the offender.

This means that the US is ready to fight back

and they will be very sufficient in counterattacking.

Once this cyber war begins,

China will not be able to stand it."

On May 6th, the Washington Post also reported that

the Pentagon had issued its most clear public accusation against Beijing.

Admiral Keith Alexander, the director of the U.S. National

Security Agency and commander-in-chief of the cyber war,

told Congress that he’d established over 12 network attack

departments to counterattack foreign networks, if necessary.

The U.S. Department of Defense report says that

the goal of the CCP’s network espionage is to collect

information on U.S. armaments, weapons, and its technology industry.

Meanwhile, the CCP wants to understand the U.S.’position

on many issues and their thoughts about the Chinese army.

Through cyber-attacks, China’s military strategists

are trying to gain understanding of the U.S. military power,

which will come in handy when there’s a crisis."

The report also reveals that China’s 2012 military spending

was between 102-billion to 163-billion Euros;

much higher than the figures Beijing announced this March,

which claimed the spending to be only 90-billion Euros.

Wu Fan believes that the figures released

by the United States are much closer to reality.

[Wu Fan]: “I think the figure may be even higher than that

China has vigorously developed its sea, land and air space,

including networks—such a comprehensive development

isn’t limited to the military industry but

includes development of material, trafficking,

transportation and cave-digging to store weapons."

In recent years, the issue of mainland China’s

military spending has concerned the outside world.

The international community largely believes that the CCP’s

actual military spending is 2 to 3 times higher than it claims.
