An expert discusses the implications of threats to internet infrastructure, comparing them to nuclear weapons and noting that China and the United States are not considered the largest marine powers.
But the two largest marine powers, China and the United States, were not among those countries.
“It does not have quite the same devastating impact with a single use, but it is exactly like a nuclear weapon in a sense that it is not the actual use of it, [but] the threat of the use of it is the bigger issue,” O’Sullivan said in Hong Kong.
“It is about creating an unease in a population with the threat that something might actually happen, and therefore disturbing their normal operations of government or political system.
“I do not see the actual idea of cable cuts as the threat. I see the threat to the internet more coming from naivety about network design.”
