War Without Rules: China's Playbook for Global Domination
For the last fifty years, American leaders have fundamentally misunderstood China, which has no interest in the status quo. It is not cooperating with the West, even when it pre- tends to. Instead it wants, through deception and stealth, to acquire total control over the globe. And inch by inch we're letting them outmaneuver us. While we are preparing for overt military attack, we don't realize that the CCP views all Party members as part of their army. We expect China to cooperate with us, even as they exploit our drug crisis and a pandemic. We imagine that our opponent in this war is limited to the Chinese government, not realizing that the CCP uses Chinese businesses and even individuals to steal intellectual property, control communication networks, and disrupt financial markets. In short, China has bamboozled us into thinking we're playing by the same rules when we aren't even playing the same game.
In War Without Rules, General Robert Spalding intro- duces us to the CCP's real doctrine, the basis of the strat- egy that has been hiding in plain sight. Widely available in China, though little-known in English-speaking circles, a book called Unrestricted Warfare prescribed every instance of Chinese malfeasance we've seen to date and predicts that there's a lot more to come. Written by two CCP colonels in the 1990s, it lays out a plan for dominating the United States without ever resorting to open conflict. It draws on ancient Eastern thinking about war, analyzes the changing face of combat in the age of modern technology, and pre- dicts American blind spots, painting a terrifyingly plausible picture of the path to Chinese hegemony.
Concept by concept, Spalding walks readers through this dense text, a difficult read even in translation for those unused to Chinese figures of speech. Pairing key excerpts from the text with his own expert analysis, Spalding has created an essential resource for anyone-from policymakers and diplomats to businessmen and investors-waking up to the stealth war. It's not yet too late to stop China's quest for global domination, but to stop the CCP's success, every American must understand the game.
