Strange Defeat: China is beating America and our dysfunction is helping

Over the last couple of months, I’ve read KT McFarland’s Revolution, Michael Pillsbury’s Hundred-Year Marathon and Gen. Robert Spalding‘s Stealth War. I am struck by one fact—how few of America’s Elites perceived China’s dangerous game. The Elites failed.

Why did America’s Elites fail us? What did they miss?

McFarland provided one clue: It was established policy to put China’s interests first—often over America’s.

Pillsbury provided extensive details about China’s strategy to replace America as the global leader.

And Gen. Spalding provided gritty examples from the last few years as China’s end game unfolded.
