Chinese General Urges Unconventional Warfare Capabilities Amid Ukraine Tensions.

General Wang Haijiang, commander of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Western Theatre Command, has called for greater integration of novel capabilities, including artificial intelligence, with conventional warfare tactics ahead of any confrontation with the West. Wang drew lessons from the Ukraine crisis and noted the emergence of a new genre of hybrid warfare, which includes political, financial, technological, cyber, and cognitive warfare. China's military preparations are closely watched not just by the West, but also by China's neighbours and Taiwan, which China claims as its own.
