China’s Reverse Engineering
By SN Bennett
What is Reverse Engineering?
• Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g. a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail, used in maintenance or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original.
So why does it matter?
• Interoperability
• Creation of unlicensed/unapproved duplicates
• Removal of copy protection, and access restrictions
• Product analysis
• Lost documentation
• Security auditing
• Academic/learning purposes
So how does China fit into this?
• Great leap
• Sino-Soviet Split
• The Chinese economic reform
1984 Chinese “Products”
• First-generation ICBM R-7 (DF (Dongfeng)-5) • First-generation satellite• First-generation nuclear strategic submarine (Xia class)• First-generation nuclear attack submarine (Han class) • Second-generation diesel-electric submarine (Ming
class) • First- and second-generation destroyers, frigates and
patrol craft • Second-generation fighter MiG-21 (J-7) and first-
generation bomber TU-28 (H-6) • First-generation air-defense missile system S-75 (HQ
(Hongqi)-2)
2001
• J-11
• J-10 FC-1
• FBC-1
• Hongniao (HN)-series long range land-attack cruise missiles
• The "093" class nuclear attack submarine and "094" class strategic submarine
Great Leap Forward
• Started in 1958 by Mao Zedong
• Lasted for 5 years
• Left China economically weak
• 23-40 million people died to famine
• This was “Great Leap Back”
So how does China fit into this?
• Great leap
• Sino-Soviet Split
• The Chinese economic reform
Sino Soviet Split
• Started in 1950
• 1968 - 69 – unofficially ended
• 1979 – officially ended
• The Treaty gave China access to Russia’s military, strategy and equipment, they were also subjected to communistic ideal’s and allowed Russia to use a Chinese port.
So how does China fit into this?
• Great leap
• Sino-Soviet Split
• The Chinese economic reform
The Chinese economic reform
• Started in 1979
• The Chinese economic reform was the “fix” to the disastrous Great Leap. It was a set of laws set in place to give immediate aid to the people.
