China’s disinformation successes causing policy paralysis - at a conference in Seoul Korea Michael Pillsbury said”America is not trying to bring down the CPP or bring down Xi.”
Michael Pillsbury, author of “The Hundred Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower” and senior fellow for China strategy at The Heritage Foundation, recently co-authored a report titled “Winning the New Cold War.” It argues that “protecting the U.S. homeland and prosperity and diminishing China’s ability to harm the U.S. will require a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach.”
In my mind, and I would defer to Michael Pillsbury on this because he’s the expert, their mindset is they don’t want a kinetic war with the United States. To paraphrase [Winston] Churchill: “they want the fruits of war. They don’t want war,” and I think they’re already engaging in that behavior.
I think the U.S. policy has been one of paralysis," Dr. Michael Pillsbury, senior fellow of the Heritage Foundation for Change of Strategy and author of "The Hundred Year Marathon," told Fox News Digital.
