Political and economic experts estimate that within a period of fifteen years, China’s economy will surpass America’s and become the largest in the world. Meanwhile, a consensus has formed in Washington that China poses a significant threat to American interests and well-being.
General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says that “China probably poses the greatest threat to our nation by about 2025.” Christopher Wray, the FBI director, has said, “One of the things we’re trying to do is view the China threat as not just a whole-of-government threat, but a whole-of-society threat . . . and I think it’s going to take a whole-of-society response by us.”
