The Chinese Information War

<p> China's information war against the United States is clever technically broadly applied and successful. The intelligence community in the U.S. has publicly stated this is a kind of war we do not know how to fight--yet it is the U.S. military that developed and expanded the doctrine of information war.</p><p> In fact the U.S. military is at a disadvantage because it is part of a democratic decentralized system of government that separates the state from commercial business. China's political systems are more easily adapted to this form of warfare as their recent land seizures in the South China Sea demonstrate. We call this annexation when it is a new form of conquest.</p>
