In their military treatise Unrestricted Warfare, Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui articulated a new doctrine of warfare: nothing is off limits or out of bounds. Their doctrine drew on centuries of Chinese strategic thinking and deviated radically from the Western doctrine of war—a deviation from the status quo and peace. Western democracies have not yet developed an effective counter to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) approach. To do so, there are three concepts the West must embrace to advance a counter doctrine that both embodies Western principles and effectively opposes what Unrestricted Warfare represents. We must shift from a rule-based order to an interest-based order, from offense to defense, and from finite order to infinite order. Failure to incorporate any of these will result in a world that tilts toward authoritarianism.
