Internet the key front in China's battle with Western hostile forces: military paper

A (PARANOID) CALL TO ARMS: China must defend its "sovereignty" in cyberspace with ideological purity, or "the public will be led astray by the enemy," the People's Liberation Army Daily said in a commentary reposted on the website of Seeking Truth, a leading Communist Party journal.

BEIJING: The Internet is the most important front in China's ideological battle against "Western anti-China forces", the country's military newspaper said, adding that online controls were essential to the government's survival. 

Calls to reject Western thought and values have grown stronger under President Xi Jinping, who has urged more "ideological guidance" at universities and the study of Marxism.
