War by other means is upon us:

 Part III: The security threats of Net Zero
The Chinese Communist Party's Fifth Plenum text of October 2020, setting out the strategy to 2035, told the nation for the first time in decades to 'prepare for war'(??) – meaning in any and all forms. It is true that the Chinese military build-up since 2000 has been relentless and remarkable. However, as we will see, at present we do not face open war, but instead war by other means.

The West needs to be aware of the 36 Strategems from an Era of War

Xi's tactics are also informed by The Thirty Six Stratagems from the era of the Warring States, a manuscript which is probably a little older than Sun Tzu's. However, both emerged from periods of great internal turbulence. The Thirty Six are usually grouped into six chapters, and three – two 'war winning' strategies and one 'enemy dealing' strategy – are most apposite in framing Xi's conduct.
