The Eagle and the Dragon

You already know that you are being targeted by Chinese intelligence. Greetings Everyday Spy, You already know that you are being targeted by Chinese intelligence. You learned this week that China's influence tactics were fine-tuned over thousands of years. Today, you learn how to defeat them. The ultimate defense against Chinese influence is surprisingly simple. So simple, that they are blind to it themselves. You only need to consider the world through the eyes of your enemy. Let me give you an example. The Art of War states: Good warriors cause others to come to them. The prospect of gain is what causes opponents to come on their own accord. Sound familiar? China understands Western values like trade and profit, so they developed an economic model that attracted American and European business. After nearly 100 years creating dependence on cheap trade, China started tricking the West into political and military compromise using economic bullying. But COVID shutdowns in China shined a light on just how dependent the world became on Chinese labor, shipping, and trade. To stay ahead of foreign tactics being used against you, you have to see those tactics from your enemy’s point of view. The majority of Westerners don't see China’s lies or true agenda because they are trapped in their own mind; in their own point of view. They are caught up in the latest trend, accessory, or distraction. But not you -- you know the secret: To be different, you have to think differently, and understand how different people think. That’s why I created [this video about my time living in China.]( Use it to think differently and see the truth that others ignore because they let China make them blind.
