The New Art of War-China's Deep Strategy Inside the United States (LIB)

“Bill Holstein’s gripping reporting on the extent of China’s incursion into American commerce, culture, education and politics is so alarming that if you put this book under your pillow it would keep you up all night. A must read for everyone to understand the just below-the-surface asymmetric war China is relentlessly waging against the largely-unsuspecting United States.”
—Allan Dodds Frank, an Emmy and Loeb Award-winning business investigative journalist.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

—Sun Tzu, author, The Art of War

The challenge is this: how can America’s fractured democracy and diverse society respond to a centrally orchestrated strategy from China that ultimately may challenge our interests and our values?

Some Chinese-Americans and Chinese residents—perhaps only a relative handful—have cooperated in obtaining technology for China. And many Chinese nationals who obtained years of experience working at American companies have returned to China to help competitors there. The Chinese have a nickname for these individuals, haigui, or returning sea turtles who come ashore once a year to lay their eggs. This book outlines the contemporary issues and offers solutions.

Bill Holstein has been writing about the emergence of China for nearly 40 years, ever since he was assigned as a United Press International correspondent to Hong Kong in 1979. He won an Overseas Press Club award for best economic coverage from abroad for his reporting of China’s efforts to achieve Deng Xiaoping’s economic modernization vision.
