Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat on said that China is capable of launching cyber attacks against India and that there is a capability gap between the two countries when it comes to technology.

Rawat said that a ‘capability differential’ has come between the two countries over the years.

"We know that China is capable of launching cyber attacks on us and that it can disrupt a large amount of our systems. What we are trying to do is to create a system which would ensure cyber defence," he said.
