The Chinese regime is waging political warfare against the United States, and U.S. policymakers need to recognize it for what it is, warns former deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger.

“We’ve failed to adequately appreciate I think one of the most threatening elements of Chinese strategy, and that’s the way it seeks to influence and coerce Americans, including political, business, and scientific leaders, in the service of Beijing’s ambitions,” said Pottinger on Aug. 4 during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.
