The Chinese Language Marathon: Nationwide Authorities and Influence

A top U.S. government expert on China unveils the secret strategy driving the country's ascent – and how Americans have unwittingly assisted China in surpassing us as the leading global superpower.

For over four decades, the United States has played a crucial role in assisting the Chinese government in building a thriving economy, advancing its scientific and military capabilities, and securing a prominent position on the global stage. This partnership was established with the belief that China’s growth would lead to collaboration, diplomacy, and open trade. However, there is a growing concern: What if the “China Dream” aims to supersede us, much like America did with the British Empire, without resorting to conflict?

In "The Hundred-Year Marathon," Michael Pillsbury unveils China's covert plan to surpass the USA as the leading global power by 2049, the centenary of the People's Republic. Drawing on interviews with Chinese defectors and declassified national security documents, Pillsbury, a seasoned Mandarin speaker with extensive experience in US government security roles, decodes China's military and intelligence agencies' strategies. He delves into traditional Chinese statecraft to reveal how their actions are rooted in age-old principles. Offering a unique perspective, Pillsbury sheds light on how China perceives America and its leaders: as outsiders who may unknowingly contribute to their own downfall.

Pillsbury additionally explains how the U.S. authorities has helped – typically unwittingly and typically intentionally – to make this “China Dream” come true, and he requires the USA to implement a brand new, extra aggressive technique towards China because it actually is, and never as we would want it to be. The Hundred-Yr Marathon is a wake-up name as we face the best nationwide safety problem of the twenty-first century.
