No surprise, In the book by Dr. Michael Pillsbury, “The Hundred-Year Marathon,” he documents the progress and timeline of China’s “Mercantilism Strategy” to dominate the world by non-military means and our total ignorance and incompetence in supporting it at our expense.
Michael Pillsbury: Dr. Fauci has talked about how he has been on the phone with China over the last two months. A lot of the data we get from the models are based on China’s official data. Dr. Birx has talked about the data coming from China.

There’s a line in Michael Pillsbury’s The Hundred-Year Marathon that reads, “It’s easy to win a race when you’re the only one who knows it has begun.” Sam, the Red Chinese know we’re in a conflict; do you?
Other ideas are also being discussed, said Michael Pillsbury, a Trump adviser and director of the Hudson Institute’s Center on Chinese Strategy, including whether Chinese access to the big American platforms of YouTube, Twitter and Facebook could be limited.

We have the rhetoric,” Pillsbury told Just the News during an interview with the John Solomon Reports podcast. “If we had widespread understanding that we are about to enter a Chinese-led world order, and then we are about to become a little brother to our Chinese leader, if that were widespread, I think you would see a different attitude.”
“We are underestimating China’s competitive drive to surpass us,” Pillsbury told Dobbs. “Lou, what they want to come out of this coronavirus crisis is to be number one in the world.”
The Obama administration had already started reappraising the wisdom of trying to unilaterally keep engagement functional when along came Trump and his posse of China hawks (such as Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, and Michael Pillsbury) who had long warned that an increasingly aggressive, autocratic, and well-armed China was both inevitable and a threat to U.S. national interests.
