This white paper draws on Professor Will Foster’s 19 years of experience studying US-China cyber-relations and is a post-modern attempt to bring new perspectives to the very limited analysis found in press coverage on “Chinese hacking of America.” Professor Foster combines glosses on these stories, provides some lessons he has learned from studying US-China Cyber-Relations, and provides a number of potential scenarios all with the goal of increasing communication and understanding between two very powerful and once distant civilizations that are now inter-connected at the speed of light.

He earned his PhD from University of Arizona in Management Information Systems and East Asian Studies.
