Confucius

In a classic example of wu wei and studying shi by turning the energy and momentum of others to your advantage, China would borrow the best techniques from the West to develop stock and debt capital markets, a mutual fund industry, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, currency markets, foreign participation, an internationalist central bank, home loans and credit cards, and a burgeoning car industry - all with the active tutoring from institutions such as the World Bank and private firms such as Goldman Sachs.

Frank Wolf

In testimony to Congress in 1996, _____, a former U.S. ambassador to China and a 27 year veteran of the CIA, noted the size of the challenge: "You know that the Chinese have a statement that they've had since Sun Tzu, 25 hundred years ago: When capable, feign incapacity. Their budgets, their Soviet acquisitions, their transfer of technology, their power projection, all of these things are kept from you. The only way you are going to get them is through clandestine collection and technical means. But again and again its been human work that's made the essential difference. As noted earlier, in 2001, twelve years after the Tiananmen Square massacre, he told a congressional commission that his greatest regret was learning a decades too late about internal Chinese documents revealing just how far china had moved toward democracy and how close the protest came to removing the Communist government. If only he had known at the time, the former ambassador said, he would have urged President George W. H. Bush to intervene firmly on the side of the real reformers, rather than being deceived by Beijing's leadership into siding with it.

The Chinese people want a revived China. -" Their great advantage is not in military influence but in their economic influence... Their influence can only grow and grow beyond the capabilities of America" - seems to confirm essential elements of the Marathon strategy, though he believes that the period of Chinese dominance is still decades away. -"Chinese have figured out if they stay with [claims of a ] 'peaceful rise' and just contest for first position economically and technologically, they cannot lose" -"to directly challenge a stronger and technologically superior power like the US will abort their peaceful rise. China is following an approach consistent with the Chinese television series The Rise of the Great Powers, produced by the Party ... I believe the Chinese leadership has learnt that it fyou compete with America in armaments, you will lose. You will bankrupt yourself. So avoid it, keep your head down, and smile for 40 or 40 years"

China's rise has yet to stimulate a similarly robust response. Hughes has put forward a number of promising policy proposals to remain competitive, These include collaboration between the U.S. private and public sectors to increase competitiveness; fiscal and monetary reform; technological innovation; the creation of a lifelong learning culture, and increased US civilian research and development

in a remarkable reversal, the normally private sector-oriented world bank and international monetary fund acknowledged that the Chinese regulations required the SOEs to safeguard the interest of the Chinese government. This was a violation of China's original commitments. Indeed, the world bank went so far as to warn in a confidential paper in 1993 that China's other reforms would fail if the SOEs could not be improved and ultimately made profitable. the concept was to "corporatize" them, which meant a relaxation of state control to push some of the enterprises to go bankrupt or be dissolved while other would be consolidated from many small, loss-making ones into a few large, profit-making ones. This is the beginning of what became known a decade later as the "___________".

the president of the World Bank visited china to meet Deng in 1983.

In private, The World Bank's economists recommended something different: they explained how China could overtake the United States. Apparently the bank did not suggest concealing the whole idea, and instead pretended that China was going capitalist. Rather, that was a Chinese decision based on the Warring States era principle of inducing complacency in the old hegemon.

While aware of this economic critique from the West, Chinese leaders seem likely to continue to rely on SOEs at least for the foreseeable future, for several reasons: 1. SOEs have been economically successful so far; China has risen from a basket case to an economic giant in just a generation 2. China's SOEs provide a continuing role for, and justification of the continued political dominance of the chinese communist party; "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is a banner under which the party can rally the masses 3. Chinese leaders believe that major industries important to china's economic and national security will move in the right direction only if they remain wholly or largely under government control; the state must remain the major player through majority ownership. 4. SOEs are a major mechanism for maintaining Party control over the country as they provide patronage and legitimacy. 5. SOEs encourage indigenous innovation in china, thereby reducing reliance on foreign technologies, another national objective, . 6. Chinese leaders may wish to move slowly to avoid the worst of the Russian experience in the post-Soviet Era - the selling of state industries to political cronies for pennies and dollar, resulting in a small number of incredibly rich oligarchs running sclerotic companies unable to compete internationally.

Farmers fanned out across the countryside, tearing down nests, breaking eggs, and chasing flocks of sparrows with pots and pans The campaign was devastatingly effective. By 1959, sparrows were nearly exterminated in China.

The Great Sparrow Campaign

A historical vignette from the Warring States Period; Between 490 and 470 BC. Between 490 and 470 BC, the story goes, the heads of two warring states were like America and China - Fuchai was the old hegemon and Goujian was the rising challenger who aspires to become ruler of the world. Fuchai takes Goujian prisoner. The hegemon's "hawkish" adviser, Wu Zixu, urges him to kill Goujian. Always suspicious of possible threats and eager to preempt them, Wu Zixu warns that Goujian will eventually escape and potentially topple the old hegemon. Other advisers, working secretly with the captured Goujian, systemically defamed and undermine Wu Zixu to the point that Fuchai decides that it is Wu Zixu who deserves to die. Eventually, after a long series of manipulations, Fuchai sends his now disgraced adviser a sword to commit suicide. Goujian convinces the king to let him serve as his personal servant for three years in exchange for his freedom, after which Goujian promises to be a strategic partner of the hegemon. When the king gets sick for an unknown reason, Goujian boldly demonstrates his extreme loyalty by tasting the king's excrement to diagnose his illness. Once he is released however, Goujian violates his promises. Just as Wu Zixu had predicted, Goujian vows revenge for the humiliation he has suffered. He sells poisoned gran that will not germinate when planted, thus causing a famine. Then he invades the kingdom and captures Fuchai. In captivity and disgraced, the king commits suicide leaving Goujian to become the new hegemon. This vignette guides China's strategy for dealing with the West today. America is playing the role of Fuchai, a ruling king being persuaded by duplicitous or foolish advisers to ignore warnings about its rival's true intentions.

The story of Funchai and Goujian (that portrays the way China is dealing with America today)

Two points were brought up by the Commission: the first was that China was moving toward a free market economy and would sell off all of its massive government-run corporations, and the second was that there was no chance China would surpass the United States economically, and even if it did - by, say, the year 2020 - China would be a free-market, peace-loving democracy by then anyway - at least according to the "Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention" popularized by the New York Times columnists ____ and in vogue at the time.

A book published and released throughout China. The book had caused a splash in the Chinese military community for the bluntness with which it discussed America's vulnerabilities. Instead of direct military action, the authors proposed nonmilitary ways to defeat a stronger nation such as the US through lawfare, economic warfare, biological and chemical warfare, cyberattacks, and even terrorism. Book was written by two colonels serving in the People's Liberation Army.

Unrestricted Warfare

For decades, China's government has denied individual rights to its own people. A Chinese human rights activist in New York who gave a speech at the United Nations, and his cell phone, e-mail, and twitter accounts were hacked in what appeared to be coordinated attacks by the chinese government.

Wen Yunchao

a former professional counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the coauthor of two books on China, coined the term "Red Team" to describe American experts seen as pro-Beijing - a play on the fact that most of them either fail to recognize the Communist nature of the People's Liberation Army or go to great lengths to ignore it. The opposing group of China specialists is called the "Blue team" - analysts who consider themselves locked in an ideological struggle with the pro-China experts. Obviously, those labeled the Red Team resent the label and deny being dupes of China. They assert that the Chinese government does not lie to them, or to anyone else.

William C. Triplett II

A. W. Clausen is the president of what ___, an international financial institution that provides loans to developing countries for capital programs.

World Bank

The U.S.-China Congressional Commission had been created as part of an effort to get more votes in the U.S. Senate for legislation allowing China to join the _________. The mission was to set out in the law that established the commission: we sought to determine the effect of Chinese economic policy on U.S. national security. Democrats were especially suspicious of China's intentions as it sought ___ membership and the claim frequently made by free market voices that trade would inevitably bring democracy to China.

World Trade Organization; WTO

Hu Jintao's successor who provided a major clue to the world's future in just five worlds of his keynote speech - "Development is of overriding importance," adding later that "we must constantly tamp the material and cultural foundations for the realization of the Chinese Dream.

Xi Jinping

future head of china's central bank; formed an early alliance with the World bank, greatly aiding China's Marathon strategy. rejected privatization and political reform. Instead, he and his allies among the World Bank economists recommended preserving party control of its strategy of improving the profitability of the SOEs. Produced a confidential paper for the world bank to detail his plan to reject Western, market-oriented economics and lessons from the positive experiences of Russian and East European reform. Instead, he and the bank's Chinese department head, Peter Harold, designed the new strategy to transform China's insufficient, poorly structured, and poorly run SOEs.

Zhou Xiaochuan

China's cooperation with the _____ terrorist network was not entirely indirect. Intelligence reports obtained by the Pentagon in December 2002 revealed that China had supplied arms to al Qaeda after the September 11 attacks. The Taliban and the al Qaeda fighters embedded among them took delivery of a shipment of Chinese made surface to air missiles just a week after the attacks, and U.S. special forces discovered thirty of these missiles in 2002.

al Qaeda

China has prevailed in creating asymmetry in its market access. The organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has determined that China's foreign investment laws are the most restrictive among the world's twenty largest national economies. China's ____ policy is a prime example. China enacted an _____ law in 2007, but its SOEs are exempt from its terms. Rather, the law is primarily directed at foreign companies trying to acquire native Chinese businesses. Furthermore, China employs a number of questionable tactics during the course of its "investigations" under this law, including warning companies not to seek lawyers, and pressuring them into confessing to engaging in anticompetitive practices in violation of antitrust legislation.

antitrust; anti-monopoly

China's irresponsibly sales of technology to build weapons of mass destruction. Even though China has signed a number of nuclear nonproliferation agreements, it is clear that china continues to contribute to the nuclear programs of both Pakistan and Iran. in addition, china has contributed to the poison gas and chemical weapons programs of a number of rogue states, including Iran. and despite being a member of the _______ , china maintains [_____________] program in violation of these obligation. like so much of china tells the world about its government programs, china's claims that it has never researched produced or possessed biological weapons are simply not true. prohibits the development, production, stockpiling and acquisition of these weapons.

biological weapons convention; biological weapons

One of China's weapons in its war on free speech is __________ of the internet. There are more than one million Chinese employed in the online censorship business. Most of the world's internet users are Chinese, but because Chinese government officials monitor and block access to the websites of human rights organizations, foreign newspapers, and numerous other political and cultural groups, Chinese citizens don't have access to the same Internet that free people do. To be "harmonized" is a euphemism for being censored.

censorship

evidence of a long-term performance of SOEs is mixed. Most economists agree that SOEs tend to respond to political imperatives, not market demands. they have trouble adjusting to changing demands for products and services, and tend to be inefficient relative to private sector competitors. They often fall victim to ___, the appointment of friends and associates to positions of authority, without proper regard to their qualifications. Their systems of corporate governance are seldom transparent.

cronyism

If China succeeds in weakening the United Nations and the WTO, it will be in keeping with its goal of creating a new world order by first doing what?

delegitimizing the old one

The United States overtook Germany's leadership in the paper industry with new technology following mergers fostered by U.S. government in 1900, the course taught. Similarly, in the steel industry, America's government somehow aided Andrew Carnegie to become the steel industry's first hegemonic leader, in 1879. Next, the Americans decided to dominate the production of copper and aluminum by acquiring European technology. the Americans then came to dominate the rubber and oil industries in the 1880s. What is all of this an example of?

dominance of various industries

the 863 program encompasses development of ______________, with both civilian and military applications, including biotechnology, laser technology, and advanced materials.

dual-use technologies

One perceived U.S. Weakness is America's reliance on high-tech information systems. No nation in the world has been as active as China in exploring the defense and vulnerabilities of computer systems involving key U.S. military, economic, intelligence and infrastructure interest. According to Larry Wortzel, who served as a commissioner on the U.S.- China economic and security review commission, "strong evidence has emerged that the Chinese government is directing and executing a large-scale cyber espionage campaign against the US." Although China routinely denies such attacks, the People's Liberation Army has 16 spy units that "focus on cyber penetrations, cyber espionage, and ______________."

electronic warfare

Many in the Chinese military fear that China could be easily blockaded by a foreign power because of the maritime geography of the ____ stretching from Japan to the Philippines that is perceived to be vulnerable to fortification.

first island chain

China's neighbors are already feeling the spillover effects of its reckless approach to development. Due to water contamination in China, much of the country's ____ has moved into the contested waters of the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. In 2011, the South Korean Coast Guard sent back 470 Chinese fishing boats for illegally entering South Korean waters.

fishing industry

1. Direct Action 2. Employing economic carrots and sticks 3. Applying indirect pressure via proxies 4. Conducting cyberattacks and physical assaults

four main strategies (that the Chinese utilize to influence or manipulate the Western media).

Chinese military are investing billions of dollars to make a __________ in military capabilities that can trump the conventional forces of major western powers.

generational leap

China's Marathon strategy depends heavily on ____ from other countries, especially the United States. That _____ translates into massive foreign investment, the acceptance of Chinese exports, indulgences when the government or state-affiliated organizations are caught stealing technology or violating WTO rules, and looking the other way on human rights abuses.

goodwill (dependence on goodwill)fvc

an arm of the Chinese government that's chaired by the minister of education; chaired by Liu Yandong, is governed by senior party officials from twelve state ministries and commissions. an instrument of the party state operating as an international pedagogical organization

hanban

The Chinese government's use of false reality to cultivate the goodwill of foreign government, policymakers, academics, reporters, business leaders, and analysts is more that an elaborate PR operation. It is an essential component of the Marathon to ______ in the hegemon, to hide in plain sight.

induce complacency

Major General Sun Bailin of China's Academy of Military Science has written that the United States depends too much on "_______" that are vulnerable to attach by "electrical incapacitation systems" that could disrupt or destroy electrical power systems, civilian aviation systems, transportation networks, seaports, television broadcast stations, telecommunications systems, computer centers, factories, and businesses.

information superhighways

using international laws, bodies, and courts to restrict America's freedom of movement and policy choices.

lawfare

A few Western analysts have challenged the conventional wisdom of telling foreigners how many obstacles China faced and to downplay its prospects that is advanced by China's leaders They see China pursuing a nakedly ____ strategy of subsidizing key industries and government-guided efforts to acquire ownership of foreign natural resources and energy reserves born of an almost paranoid view that oil and gas are reaching a global peak of production. In their thinking, wars over natural resources are inevitable in the decades ahead, and therefore, China must buy resources overseas and stockpile them at home, while denying scarce resources to others.

mercantilist

American business and cybersecurity specialists have reported an onslaught of ________ originating in china. Unfortunately, the U.S. intelligence community has in many cases been unable to confirm who is responsible. Estimates of losses from these attacks are usually unreliable, but it is possible to get some grasp of the scale of a cyber-based loss.

network intrusions

In addition to depending on satellites, another weakness of the U.S. military is relying on long supply lines for ammunition, fuel, and other resources essential to waging war. In the First Gulf War, the U.S. Navy used 19 million gallons of oil a day and twenty times more ammunition than in the Korean War None of that would have been possible without _____, which are vulnerable to asymmetric attacks from submarines, sea mines, torpedoes, and carrier-killer missiles, all of which are already in China's arsenal.

open sea-lanes

The author first came across the term "assassin's mace" in 1995 when reading an article titled "The Military Revolution in Naval Warfare," written by three of China's preeminent military strategists. The authors listed new technologies that would contribute to the defeat of the US. They linked military supremacy in outer space to success in naval operations. "The mastery of _______ will be a prerequisite for naval victory with outer space becoming the new commanding heights for naval combat .... The side with electromagnetic combat superiority will make full use of that Assassin's Mace weapon to win naval victory."

outer space

For two decades, China has been building a number of Assassin's Mace weapons to destroy or incapacitate those satellites, including a land-based laser that would either blind American satellites or blow them up. It has also begun to build "____". These small devices would cling to an American satellite and either disable it or hijack the information it gathers. Others could neutralize an American satellite through electronic jamming, EMP generation, or pushing the satellite out of orbit."

parasitic microsatellites

Many Chinese strategists adhere to the "_____" theory: the idea that energy supplies will soon dwindle and prices will consequently skyrocket. According to this perspective, the world is a giant wei qi game board where resources such as copper, oil, and lithium must be obtained and denied to competitors. Echoing a concern prevalent in much analysis of China's geostrategic challenges, one analyst at the Chinese Academy of Social Science writes, "Facing the challenge of global energy supply shortages, in the future China and the U.S cannot avoid disagreement and conflict (especially on the issue of oil).

peak oil

The elements of the U.S. _______ system include forward-deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles and military bases; aerial refueling capabilities; nuclear-armed bombers; and long-distance troop transport capabilities. Rather than attempting to replicate the U.S.-style system of power projection, as the Soviets did, China has elected not to do so because it would be a violation of the rules of the Warring states-era lessons for China to provoke the hegemon, or ba, prematurely. Chinese leaders have studied how the US had become alarmed at the Soviet Union's military buildup, and how this buildup supposedly provoked the Americans to end wartime cooperation with Stalin and initiate the cold War and a massive U.S. trade and investment embargo on the Soviet Union.

power projection

In November 2003 came perhaps the most compelling evidence of China's links to a much broader ______, when the Libyan government supplied Western Officials with a trove of documents, including a detailed instructional manual, printed in Chinese, for making a thousand-pound bomb with conventional explosives wrapped around fissile material to create a nuclear blast. Media reports claim that these documents showed that Chinese nuclear weapons experts will collaborating with Pakistani nuclear scientists for years after initially supplying the design information to Pakistan and Libya.

proliferation network

Ms. Lee revealed that the operation (of China's governments routinely monitoring of media) had a $12 billion annual budget and was run by the Politburo's Standing Committee, which met weekly in a secret room in Beijing, spending much of its time creating messages to be promoted by a ____________ that controlled Chinese newspapers, television programs, and magazines published overseas, as well as the Chinese Internet.

propaganda system

Beijing is ____ in how it promotes messages that are helpful to its cause and long-term strategy and censors those that are not. As it did after Tiananmen, the government revises official Chinese history and punishes those who do not toe the favored line.

ruthlessly efficient ( message control)

The future military balance of power is slowly shifting, from a ten-to-one U.S. superiority, toward equality, and then eventually to Chinese superiority. Congressional testimony in December 2013 revealed that the U.S. Navy's _________ budget may be as low as $15 billion annually for the next 30 years, while the price of each new navy ship will escalate. Our only chance to remain dominant will be to develop superior technology and countermeasures for the Assassin's Mace program, such as the Defense Department's new doctrine of AirSea Battle

shipbuilding

In sum, if the China dream becomes a reality in 2049, the _____ will nurture autocracies; many websites will be filled with rewritten history defaming the West and praising China; and pollution will contaminate the air in more countries, as developing nations adopt the Chinese model of "grow now, and deal with the environment later" in a race to the bottom in food safety and environmental standards. As environmental degradation expands, species could disappear, ocean levels will rise, and cancer will spread. Some international organizations will not be able to step in as efficiently as they can today because they will be marginalized. Chinese state-owned monopolies and Chinese-controlled economic alliances will dominate the global marketplace, and one of the world's mightiest military alliances may be controlled by Beijing, which will be able to easily outspend the US on military research, troop levels, and weapons systems

sinocentric world

The World bank pointed out that china's savings are remarkably high, and that if China could obtain productivity growth - especially via the use of science and technology - coupled with restrained population growth, the ambitious goal was achievable. the bank made ____ in private, not revealing them to the outside would because the bank had made the politically sensitive decision to endorse China's socialist approach and made no genuine effort to advocate for a true market economy.

six recommendation

1. For the two decades after 1985, China needed to change the composition of its exports to increasingly emphasize manufactured goods, particularly high-tech products. 2. the bank warned Chinese leaders not to slide into excessive borrowing from foreign sources 3. the bank economists warned China to encourage foreign direct investment only for advanced technology and modern management techniques. 4. To spread foreign investment and joint revenues out from the special economic zones to a wide range of locales 5. to phase out its foreign trade companies and let each SOE establish its own foreign trade arrangements 6. the bank recommended that a long-term framework for the whole Chinese economy should be worked out regularly

six recommendations

Western countries offer concessions primarily because leaders are convinced that overall China is moving in the "right" direction toward freer markets, productive international cooperation, and political liberalization. That is a misperception about China. The author and other experts have learned from Chinese defectors and dissidents that Beijing has a _______ in place to mislead foreigners about what is going on in their country and to reconfirm Western biases and wishful thinking.

sophisticated system

what has accelerated Chinese growth more than anything is not reform at all, but a commitment to subsidize ______, which still comprise 40 percent of China's GDP. These ___, or "national champions," as they are known inside the halls of government in Beijing, are a vital component of the Hundred-Year Marathon. They have successfully undercut Western competitors to help fuel the nation's economic rise. This commitment to a ruthless brand of mercantilism traces back to China's earliest days, when competing governments in the Warring States era used state-controlled economics as an extension of warfare.

state-owned enterprises (SOEs); SOEs

Partly because of the threat it is able to pose to American sea lines, the ____ is believed by China's Navy Research Institute to be the most important ship in the 21st century

submarine

What the Chinese authorities hadn't realized was that, in addition to grains, insects constituted a large component of the sparrow's diet. In the following years, without sparrows as predators, locusts ravaged harvests - and this was compounded by severe droughts. Between 1958 and 1961, more than thirty million Chinese perished due to famine. Communist China's first major experiment to make itself economically competitive relative to the West had failed. What is this an example of?

the consequences of the Sparrows near extermination

to stay in power, China's leadership knows it needs raid growth if we project the current impasse forward three decades, the effects are alarming. Since the 1980s, China has built ten thousand petrochemical plants along the Yangtze River and four thousand plants along the Yellow River. As a result of these factories and China's choice to prioritize development over environmental considerations, 40 percent of the country;s rivers are seriously polluted, and in 20 percent of its rivers the water quality is too toxic to touch safely, let alone drink. At least 55 percent of the groundwater in china is unfit for drinking. In fact, the wastewater that Chinese factories dump into rivers causes about 60 thousand premature deaths annually. of course, because of the state's control of information and its vast network of censors, many Chinese do not even know that their drinking water may kill them.
