China and the Invisible War: How Influence Became a Weapon - Tapa blanda

China and the Invisible War (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For decades, China's rise was presented as an inevitable story of growth, technological progress, and efficiency. But behind that narrative lies another reality: a silent, patient, and deeply strategic war. China and the Invisible War reveals how the Chinese Communist Party has learned to project power without openly declaring it, to influence without appearing propagandistic, and to transform cooperation, investment, and economic dependency into instruments of political penetration. From Western media and think tanks to critical infrastructure and the green transition, Beijing is not merely competing: it is shaping perceptions, creating vulnerabilities, and slowly shifting the global balance of power. This book also dismantles the myth of the invincible superpower. Demographic collapse, the real-estate crisis, industrial overcapacity, and the extreme centralization of power reveal a regime far more fragile than it appears. China is not a flawless technocracy, but an authoritarian system capable of sustaining catastrophic mistakes for decades precisely because it lacks genuine mechanisms of correction. Yet the threat does not reside only in Beijing. It also lies within a weakened and disoriented West increasingly willing to accept forms of dependency that compromise its own freedom. This is not a war fought with tanks or missiles. It is a war over narrative, sovereignty, and the future. And it is already underway. This item is printed on demand.
