The hundred-year marathon

In this book, Michael Pillsbury discusses China's secret strategy to surpass the United States as a leading global power by 2049.

Drawing from his extensive experience as a China analyst and policy advisor, Pillsbury argues that China's strategy is deeply rooted in Chinese statecraft and strategic thinking, employing methods such as economic growth, espionage, and the manipulation of international norms.

He critiques China's stealthy, long-term tactics and analyzes China's historical strategies influencing its modern policies.

The book also highlights how the U.S.

government has sometimes unwittingly or deliberately contributed to China's rise and calls for a more competitive U.S.

strategy toward China.
