PANEL
Silent Offensive: How China Shapes the Global Cyber Battlefield
DAY 1 / 15:00 – 16:15 / MAIN HALL
China’s cyber operations have moved far beyond espionage. They underpin a strategic push to control digital infrastructure, dictate global standards, and steer information flows. This approach, often described as digital colonialism, challenges open models of technology and governance. The panel will assess implications for cybersecurity, internet freedom, and national resilience, and discuss cooperative strategies for democratic nations to uphold a secure and rules-based digital environment.
