Description

At the core of U.S. strategy is the concept of “integrated deterrence,” a framework for working across warfighting domains, theatres of operation, and the entire conflict continuum. While the Department of Defense plays an integral role in integrated deterrence, they are not the only ones. For US-China policy to be more effective, a comprehensive approach, involving all of government, is needed. This demands a better understanding of the People's Republic of China, the chief competitor of the United States.
From strategic policymakers down to the average citizen who chooses not to click a link in an email, a greater understanding of China will help everyone make informed decisions. By considering China's history and experiences sui generis, citizens, policymakers, and military planners can interpret Chinese actions within their own specific context, and therefore more accurately frame their actions, policies, and responses. Confronting the China Threat: Leveraging Insights for Informed Integrated Deterrence addresses the physical, cultural, cognitive, legal, and digital environments that inform China's worldview and actions on the global stage. This will ultimately better inform readers on how China views itself, outsiders, and competition, and enable them to tailor specific responses in and through cyberspace and information operations.
