- "Warfare which transcends all boundaries and limits, in short; unrestricted warfare."
- "…this kind of war means that all means will be in readiness, that information will be omnipresent, and the battlefield will be everywhere. It means that all weapons and technology can be superimposed at will…all the boundaries lying between the two worlds of war and non-war, of military and non-military, will be totally destroyed, and that many of the current principles of combat will be modified, and even that the rules of war may need to be rewritten."
- "These two sentences, ‘fight the fight that fits one's weapons' and ‘build the weapons to fit the fight,' show the clear demarcation line between traditional warfare and future warfare, as well as pointing out the relationship between weapons and tactics in the two kinds of war."
"Stealth War: How China Took Over While America's Elite Slept" (© 2019) was written by Brigadier General Robert Spalding (USAF, Ret.). Spalding served 26 years. He ended his career as the Senior Director for Strategic Planning to the National Security Council, was formerly the China strategist for the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs, as well as a Senior Defense Official and Defense Attaché to China. He holds a doctorate in economics and mathematics from the University of Missouri and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. He wrote: "Chinese diplomacy seeks to manipulate targets so they don't realize they are doing the CCP's dirty work. To do this, China convinces other countries that it is a good neighbor or partner and is genuinely trying to help their partners help themselves. There is little doubt that this poly drives the vast majority of deals as China unfurls its projected $1.3 trillion Belt and Road infrastructure plan for developing nations. By building a global network of connected railroads, highways, and ports throughout two-thirds of the world, China can talk a great game about helping countries participate in the worldwide economy. but it also puts the CCP in a position to control that economy and exploit all the data that is generated as people and goods move around the world. ‘No conflict. No confrontation. Win-win cooperation' is the CCP's slogan."
