This paper examines the Chinese approach to the concept of deterrence in cyberspace. It first discusses the evolution of the concept of deterrence—from nuclear to cross-domain—with particular attention to the notion of cyber deterrence. The paper then presents the specific features of the Chinese approach to deterrence and how this concept is shaped in the People’s Republic of China in relation to its strategic culture. The aim of the paper is to illustrate how the PRC interprets cyber deterrence within the framework of its broader conception of integrated strategic deterrence, that is, how it conceptualizes deterrence in the cyber domain. The paper concludes that the PRC perceives cyberspace as an extension of its sovereign territory, where the strategy of cyber deterrence—integrated with other domains—serves to protect vital national interests.
