Abstract
Richard Clarke, former White House advisor on cybersecurity, has reportedly warned that there is evidence that China has been actively probing and hacking wireless networks that control the United States power grid. Clarke points out, “The only point to penetrating the grid’s controls is to counter American military superiority by threatening to damage the underpinning of the U.S. economy. Chinese military strategists have written about how in this way a nation like China could gain an equal footing with the militarily superior United States”.
