I’m interested in improving my technical (particularly cybersecurity-related) Chinese vocabulary and writing skills, and as such have accumulated a list of relevant Chinese-language reading material. Although it’s largely for linguistic study in my case, there’s a lot of in-depth technical information as well. Perhaps this may help others with similar interests.
I’ve marked the links below with E, SC and TC to denote English, Simplified, and Traditional Chinese content. These are not listed in any particular order. I will endeavor to update this list as I discover further items of interest.
Blogs
- Seebug Paper (SC): Massive repository of articles on all kinds of security topics.
