One of the U.S. government's leading China experts reveals the hidden strategy fueling that country's rise and how Americans have been seduced into helping China overtake us as the world's leading superpower.For more than forty years, the United States has played an indispensable role helping the Chinese government build a booming economy, develop its scientific and military capabilities, and take its place on the world stage, in the belief that China's rise will bring us cooperation, diplomacy, and free trade. But what if the 'China Dream' is to replace us, just as America replaced the British Empire, without firing a shot?Based on interviews with Chinese defectors and newly declassified, previously undisclosed national security documents, The HundredYear Marathon reveals China's secret strategy to supplant the United States as the world's dominant power, and to do so by 2049, the onehundredth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic. Michael Pillsbury, a fluent Mandarin speaker who has served in senior national security positions in the U.S. government since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, draws on his decades of contact with the 'hawks' in China's military and intelligence agencies and translates their documents, speeches, and books to show how the teachings of traditional Chinese statecraft underpin their actions. He offers an inside look at how the Chinese really view America and its leaders as barbarians who will be the architects of their own demise.Pillsbury also explains how the U.S. government has helped sometimes unwittingly and sometimes deliberately to make this 'China Dream' come true, and he calls for the United States to implement a new, more competitive strategy toward China as it really is, and not as we might wish it to be. The HundredYear Marathon is a wakeup call as we face the greatest national security challenge of the twentyfirst century.
