China's Global Hybrid War

Through psychological warfare, propaganda, and a cynical misuse of law, China is advancing its revisionist territorial ambitions without having to fire a shot. The world’s democracies must wake up to the increasingly aggressive hybrid war that President Xi Jinping is waging.

NEW DELHI – As the world’s largest, strongest, and longest-surviving dictatorship, contemporary China lacks the rule of law.

In fact, China has become quite adept at waging “lawfare” – the misuse and abuse of law for political and strategic ends.
