We must be aware of how modern war is being waged by enemies (no one is a friend) towards us and/or Western Countries. This book was written by PLA officers: Xiao Liang, and Wang Xiangsui
Ordinarily we think of war as being waged at a battle front with soldiers, tanks, guns artillery. This is not so. War is to be waged both militarily and elsewhere: economics, supply lines, commerce, internet, biological information. The adversary must not be even aware that a war is being waged, and before he knows this. The author says that this being waged by China vs Western powers.
We see this happening:
1. Hacking internet
2. Control of manufacturing
3. Covid: vaccines, and supplies
4. Currency attacks - dedollarization
5. Espionage of industrial secrets
6. Recruitment of US servicemen to train its crews
In a war, everyone loses: cities, buildings, reparations, lives. In unrestricted warfare, no dead bodies litter the streets. Only victors
