China ready for undersea cable attacks, congressional report warns
By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 19, 2025
NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
The Chinese government is developing capabilities for cutting undersea communications cables as part of its large-scale military buildup and preparation for war, according to a congressional report.
The report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission reveals that as part of China’s plans for “gray zone” warfare — activities below the level of kinetic conflict — new cable-cutting technologies are being deployed.
“China has increasingly engaged in undersea cable-cutting activities as a gray zone pressure tactic, and there is mounting evidence that Beijing is developing new cable-cutting technologies for potential wartime use,” the report said.
Chinese researchers at institutions linked to the People’s Liberation Army are actively researching strategies for severing undersea cables, the report said. Numerous Chinese patents were filed for technologies designed to cut deep-sea cables cheaply and efficiently.
Undersea cables are the backbone of modern global communications infrastructure and transmit an estimated 95% of all global internet traffic. The links are used for financial transactions, government services, commercial activities and military communications.
The report reveals that in February, Chinese scientists at the China Ship Scientific Research Center, which was sanctioned for acquiring U.S. goods for the PLA, made public a new design for an “electric cutting device for deep-sea cables.” The device is said to be capable of severing armored cables at depths of more than 13,000 feet.
According to the report, the Chinese military is expected to sever undersea cables around Taiwan to crush the island’s communications during an invasion.
Researchers obtained a Chinese database showing “strategic points of interest” in Taiwan that included numerous undersea cable landing stations.
