By 2027, China will set up as many as six world-class cybersecurity academies, the latest national guideline vowed on Aug. 14.

According to the guideline, jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Education, the academies will invite top professionals to enroll and train talented students based on high-quality teaching materials.

Not only will students with an IT background be targeted, but students with science and engineering, law, and management backgrounds will also be on the radar.

“Talents will not be judged by their education background or the number of papers they have published. What matters are their professional skills, especially their ability to innovate and solve practical problems,” the guideline added.

The guideline did not reveal how much the government plans to invest in such academies. Rather, it just said that a “large amount” will be spent on their construction.

The academies will be housed in a small number of select universities after a series of appraisals. They will be built using money from both local authorities and companies, it noted.

China has been increasingly keen on developing cyber. In 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on the country to become a major cyber power.
