DEFENSE
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is advancing its cyber warfare capabilities by developing over ten experimental tools that utilize quantum technology, with prototypes currently in combat testing. This initiative, spearheaded by the National University of Defence Technology, aims for full military 'informatisation' by 2027 and focuses on quantum sensing and secure navigation systems to counter U.S. military advantages. China's significant investment in quantum science raises international security concerns as it strives to become a global leader in the field by 2030.
