China using political warfare to affect U.S

This type of political warfare intends to unite allies and bring them on the same page while disintegrating the enemy slowly in a process that is way more dangerous than conventional warfare if the success rate is taken into account. Today, this is a methodology that has been applied by many states to achieve their national interests with the current situation in the Middle East being a really good example to serve as a reminder to the deadly consequence of this activity.

The element of power for any state has evolved over the ages – from territorial expression to military power and now it is associated with economy. Currently, a state with strong economy, will be carrying the crown of leading the world in its desire direction.
