John Lenczowski is the founder, chancellor, and president emeritus of The Institute of World Politics, a District of Columbia-based graduate school that specializes in the instruments of statecraft and national security. He was the principal Soviet affairs advisor to President Ronald Reagan.
What are the Chinese Communist Party’s primary tools of strategic deception? And why don’t more people know about them?
“The Chinese have 600 front organizations operating in the United States today trying to influence all sorts of segments of our society,” he says.
In this episode, we sit down to discuss America’s failure to understand the nature of the communist China threat, and what should be done to counter it.
“The problem is that our foreign policy establishment is principally concerned with creating what I consider to be the false atmospherics of peace, rather than genuine peace,” he says.
