The Chinese president stressed that this initiative was an "important" decision made by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party to strengthen the Army, the Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.

China thus ended the Strategic Support Force, created in 2015 for space, cyber, political and electronic warfare.

The Information Support Force will report directly to the Central Military Commission.

The restructuring comes after the US, UK and New Zealand accused China in March of carrying out "malicious" cyber activities against their democratic institutions.
