The intellectually disabled on this blog and source douches like Bucket will dismiss this. But for those thinkers that we're all proud to have flying the colors of Kansas State University meaning you are: 1. Extremely intelligent 2. Smell fantastic 3. Extremely successful 4. Worldly and aware. I invite you to consider this article discussing the book, "Unrestricted War" by Colonel Qiao Liang and Colonel Wang Xiangsui of the Peoples Liberation Army-China (1999)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/chinas_unrestricted_war_on_the_united_states.html(Some thoughts are my own, which means you should read them)
Liang and Xiangsui discuss:
New Terror: Actual or implied threat of a WMD attack. Pandemics: Like SARS-Covid-19 which originated in China.
Drug Warfare: China is the worlds largest producer of arguably the most dangerous large scale illegal drug on the planet. China is one of the largest or possibly now the largest launderer of drug cartel money
Smuggling Warfare: Counterfeit goods creating doubt in the market place, over supply and viable product devaluation. Which in turns drives corporate downturns, economic loss and unemployment. Which in turn erodes tax base, increases central government socioeconomic spending which drives borrowing and national debt
Economic Aid Warfare (Western countries do the same thing): Direct economic assistance with an understood favoritism towards China across a broad spectrum of economic and political fronts. See also: Belt and Road
Cultural Warfare: Acceptance of divergent political viewpoints no matter how antithetical those viewpoints are to the core foundational beliefs of a nation state. Destabilization and weakening of economic systems and society which in turns bolsters China's status in the world because China simply doesn't have those issues because the regime controls all.
Media Warfare: Self explanatory. China is institutionalized embedded in many systems of higher education in the United States and points beyond including K-Street, Wall Street and soon (and once again) the White House.
