You’ve heard about the US–China trade war, but how is communist China actually pushing a much broader offensive against the United States?

What exactly is the Chinese Communist Party’s doctrine of Unrestricted Warfare? And why did the American intelligence community and military fail to recognize this threat for so long?

How exactly has the Chinese regime been waging a “Stealth War” against the United States for decades, and what can be done right now to level the playing field?

This is American Thought Leaders ??, and I’m Jan Jekielek.

Today retired Air Force brigadier general Robert Spalding returns to American Thought Leaders ??. He was the chief China strategist for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, and a senior strategic planner for the White House on the National Security Council. Now, he’s a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

We discuss General Spalding’s new book “Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept.” We discuss how the Chinese communist regime infiltrated and subverted the United States, using American money. We also explore how the Chinese regime has been incredibly effective at using disinformation and propaganda to control the narrative about itself, both domestically and abroad.
