China's Defense Ministry has now revealed that the PLA has established a "cyber blue team" to better safeguard the Internet security of the armed forces.

Ministry spokesperson Geng Yansheng admits the Chinese side is still relatively weak in Internet security protection.

Meanwhile, Geng says Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie has now been discussing issues connected to the South China Sea with the leaders from Indonesia and the Philippines.

"Indonesian side agreed that all relevant parties should try to safeguard the peace and stability of the South China Sea and hopes to solve the issue through bilateral negotiations. The Philippines side said the South China Sea is a region for cooperation not conflict. They hope all negotiators should recognize the differences and maintain dialogues to solve the issue peacefully."

He also says the defense minister will attend a regional security summit in Singapore, known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, early next month.
