Excerpt:

Now is the time to act. We should use our cyber power in support of our national security. The cooperation of China in these cyber efforts is more than plausible. Like us, China has critical interests at stake as it is displeased with North Korea’s behavior and has expressed the desire for a peaceful resolution. A cyber campaign can lead to a favorable, peaceful outcome. China also plays a role in North Korea’s cyber operations, so a united front against North Korea would strengthen the possibility of a successful outcome.

The cyber tools we use for social networking and public diplomacy can be recast in order to prevent nuclear proliferation and establish peace on the Korean Peninsula.
