The US ‘is declining because they have many problems, all of which were created by themselves’, says Unrestricted Warfare co-author Qiao Liang.
A Chinese military strategist who co-wrote a book that inspired former White House political adviser Steve Bannon to conclude China was waging an economic war against the United States criticised the “outdated and stupid imperialist thinking” that led US President Trump to launch the trade war.

WNU Editor: Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui's book "Unrestricted Warfare" is a must read. You can download the book from here (link here) .... and when you have read it you can then understand why Steve Bannon concluded that China was waging economic war against the United States. As to what is my take .... China has never wavered on what is its long term goals. They first want to be the regional super-power in Asia, and then ultimately one the critical superpowers in the world. They see the U.S. as the main threat, and the economy as their weakness. As for Qiao Liang, he is 100% right when he says that ....
.... U.S. is declining because they have so many problems, which were all created by themselves, but they put the blame on China … The US became a superpower because of its competitiveness and better systems, not by creating hurdles to drag down its competitors.
