Description
The Hundred-Year Marathon presents a compelling analysis of China’s strategic plan to surpass the United States as the global superpower by the centennial of the People’s Republic of China in 2049. Author Michael Pillsbury, a China policy expert with decades of experience in U.S. intelligence and defense, draws on classified documents and insider knowledge to reveal how Chinese leaders have pursued a methodical, long-term strategy to achieve this goal.
Pillsbury challenges the Western assumption that China will inevitably become a responsible stakeholder in the international system. Instead, he argues that Chinese officials view the current international order as temporary and are actively working to undermine it. The book examines China’s economic policies, military modernization, space programs, and diplomatic initiatives as coordinated elements of this century-long plan.
This groundbreaking work provides crucial insights into Chinese strategic thinking and offers a wake-up call for policymakers and citizens concerned about America’s future role in global affairs.
