Quotes from the referenced article:

“Cyber is but one of several physical operating milieus exploited in the conduct of information operations, and the term cyber itself presently ignores other EM considerations.”

“... that is, the physical transmission of electromagnetic energy in order to physically manipulate electrons for the purposes of conveying information. It is the interaction of energy and electrons that wholly describes this environment. As this is the same thing that occurs in the greater electromagnetic battlespace, we may regard cyber as simply a subset of an all-encompassing EM environment.

Therefore, five physically distinct operating environments exist: land, air, maritime, space and electromagnetic (EM), where cyber is currently a subset of EM.”

neutral  Phil Hand: I think literal translation is a mistake here. The article says that cyberspace is the standard term. It proposes a new concept (EM). But the Chinese is not proposing a new concept(?), so better to use established terms. We shouldn't use EM because of 电磁

  -> Thank you for the comment. But frankly, I hope you truly know and clearly understand the concept about 网络电磁空间 vs 网络空间.

agree  tanglsus: I'll go with Cyber-Electromagnetic field, fifth (battle)field

  -> Thanks,tanglsus! The concept of EM has been there since Max Planck!
