But what if the Chinese have had a different plan all along? The hundred-year marathon reveals China's secret strategy to supplant the United States as the world's dominant power, and to do so by 2049, The one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic. Michael pillsbury, who has served in senior National security positions in the U.S. Government since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, draws on Chinese documents, speeches, and books (many of them never translated into English) to reveal the roots of this strategy in traditional Chinese statecraft and track how the Chinese are putting it into practice today. Pillsbury shows how American policy make Rs have been wilfully blind to these developments for decades--and he includes himself in that critique, as he was once a leading voice in favour of aiding China. He also calls for the United States to design a new, more competitive strategy toward China as it really is, and not as we might wish it to be. Now featuring a new afterword, the hundred-year marathon is a wakeup call for all Americans concerned about how we have misread the greatest National security challenge of the twenty-first century. Review: Chinese Stratagems of mastering the Arts of deception - A must read book to understand the Chinese mind & the ancient stratagems thats their guiding light. The writer explains lucidly how Chinese have been successful in befooling the Americans that they are moving towards democracy. While, making Americans dole every possible help to their own detriment in long run. They have always been working to outpace & outpost the hegemon USA without letting them know that they are constantly scheming behind their back. Review: A shrewd assessment of China under the Communist Party - The book reminded me of the adage, 'Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'. The book gives us the American viewpoint on China's rise in the last few decades and the unease in America with that. The author has lots of inside knowledge about China. Basically he argues that Chinese culture is such that China will use any means even unethical ones to become the future hegemon of the world. Apparently Chinese culture allows the use of deception even in peace time. A perusal of the book certainly gives the reader an increased understanding of Chinese foreign policy. I recommend this book for readers who are interested in understanding Chinese behavior. The only caveat is that since the author is a citizen of the current global hegemon the reader should be alert about any bias. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #16,955 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in United States History (Books) #41 in International Relations & Globalization #61 in Political Freedom & Security (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,478 Reviews | ## Images ![The Hundred-Year Marathon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nYlSSSpVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chinese Stratagems of mastering the Arts of deception *by V***L on 17 July 2025* A must read book to understand the Chinese mind & the ancient stratagems thats their guiding light.
