We are told a “trade war” has started with China and investors are panicking. They point to President Trump’s latest tariff hikes and China’s retaliatory ones to justify massive sell-offs on Wall Street and Chinese markets yesterday.

In fact, the PRC has been at war with the United States for decades. Unfortunately, that war is not restricted to China’s aggressively predatory trade practices, including the destruction of America’s manufacturing base and the annual theft of $500 billion worth of our intellectual property.

Rather, as the new Committee on the Present Danger: China has been documenting, Beijing has long pursued “unrestricted warfare” against our country involving economic and financial techniques, influence operations, the space and cyber domains and a massive military build-up. The Trump presidency may be our last chance to recognize these threats – and defeat them.
