The Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army have been interested in war and electronic espionage since the third decade of the last century, when Deng Xiaoping was establishing technical units in military bases in southern China. The purpose of this study is to determine which strategies are being used by The People’s Republic of China to gain advantage over other states and how effective they are, as well as the manner in which they are perceived by the USA, EU and Romania. The current paper aims to provide an understanding of the way in which the People’s Liberation Army conducts information, psychological, electronic, cyber and meta warfare to help a competing China to access and preserve power. The development ofspecialized literature on China’s hostile capabilities has the effect of increasing security culture among the Euro-Atlantic and Romanian public and possibly deterring China. In order to achieve its purpose, the following methodology was used: reviewing specialized literature, qualitative research, and testing Charles Tilly’s theory - war made the state and the state made war ̶ because state institutions and war preparation are mutually reinforced (bellum est pater omnium).
