The Great Cyber Conflict (2029):

Testimony of Yan Li, former cyber warfare specialist for the People's Liberation Army, China

"I remember that day clearly. The alert went off in the middle of the night. We were under attack. The enemy's malware was like nothing we'd ever seen before. It was adaptive, elusive, like a ghost in our machines. It took us three days... three sleepless days and nights to finally isolate and neutralize it. But by then, the damage was done. Our financial systems were in chaos, power grids were failing, public unrest was growing. It wasn't just a battle; it was a war... a war fought not with guns and bombs, but with code and data."
