Abstract

The chapter delves into the unique challenges posed by the cyber domain, highlighting its offensive dominance and the lack of international governance. It examines the cyber threat landscape in East Asia, where major powers like China, the US, and Russia engage in aggressive cyber activities. The analysis focuses on the offence-defence balance, attribution problems, and weak cyber deterrence, which collectively create a permissive environment for cyber aggression. The chapter applies offence-defence theory to the East Asian context, predicting that states are likely to 'chaingang' in response to cyber conflicts, leading to potential escalation. It concludes with policy recommendations to enhance cybersecurity through international cooperation and the establishment of norms and best practices.
