Notably, psychological warfare, this ancient form of conflict, is increasingly playing a pivotal role in safeguarding national security and achieving victory in wars, exhibiting a series of new characteristics. Major military forces of the world are adapting to the changing times by adopting various measures to shift industrial-era psychological warfare into the information age.

It also offers reflections on enhancing the construction of psychological warfare capabilities in our armed forces.
