After the end of the Cold War, with the development of globalization, the battlefield of international competition has transferred from military and political area to economy. This transformation is related to the result of the globalizational interdependence. Although the opening of China is necessary, but the inclination of the interdependency should never be ignorant after connected with world economy. The tendency not only represents the process of Chinese development, but decides China¡¦s diplomatic thought and policy even more. It even also helps to calculate China¡¦s development direction in the future. Therefore, it would be more meaningful to discuss China¡¦s national security with the thought of world interdependence. It would be the point of this essay¡Xthe interdependency¡Xto examine and illustrate the relationship, phases, and nature between China and the world. Except for explain the concept of Chinese economy; it would also compare the history and the features of interdependence. With this comparison, it would reveal the tendency of Chinese economic security and the credibility of this theory. Finally, it would deduce the better way to transform the power of China in the future.

National discourse on cyberconflict has largely focused on defensive concerns, or protecting “critical infrastructure” from cyber threats. By contrast, the U.S. government’s employment of cyberattack is shrouded in secrecy and receives scant public attention. The seminal study on U.S. cyberattack, published by the National Academy of Sciences in 2009, noted that the clandestine nature of U.S. cyber operations hinders “widespread understanding and debate about the nature and implications of U.S. cyberattack.” This secrecy has contributed to a policy and legal framework for cyberattack that the NRC-NAS Report called “ill-formed, underdeveloped and highly uncertain.” Since the NRC-NAS Report was published, the U.S. government has signaled an unprecedented seriousness of purpose in addressing cyberconflict. It has marshaled its cyber resources under the leadership of a single “Cyber Command” and attempted to articulate formal “cyberstrategy.” Media reports from 2010-11 provide rare insight into cyberattack decision-making, and describe gradual development of policy and process for a specific type of cyberattack. The topic of U.S. cyberattack merits revisiting. This Report surveys the current international environment regarding cyberconflict, traces the development of “cyberstrategy” by the Executive Office of the President (EoP) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to make general points about the U.S. approach to cyberattack, and examines the statutory framework applicable to U.S. cyberattack in a narrow set of cases. This Report draws on news media reports about a series of cyberattack incidents to examine the dynamics of the cyberattack policy-making process, discusses recent attempts to address these issues, and summarizes lessons learned. / text
