“On avait oublié toute à fait que sous l’homme, même le plus civilisé, on attient vite le sauvage.”
(It has been completely forgotten that if you scratch the surface of man, even at his most civilized, you quickly reach the savage.)
Anne Louise Germaine de Staël-Holstein, Genevan political theorist and witness of the French Revolution, Napoleonic Era, and French Restoration

“A new generation of Unrestricted Warfare is upon us” which was a concept created in 1999. It is known as 超限战 in simplified Chinese and 超限戰 in traditional Chinese, respectively, which both translate to “warfare beyond bounds.” This is a modern form of military doctrine written by 2 colonels in the People’s Liberation Army, Qiao Liang (乔良) and Wang Xiangsui (王湘穗).
As the American proverb points out, generals are always prepared to fight the last war. The concept focused on the 4 critical areas of offensive actions: Lawfare, Economic Warfare, Network Warfare, and Terrorism. With technology advancing at lightspeed, mainly thanks to Moore’s law, the theatre of war is dynamic. What may have been a check and balance a few years ago can be upended and change the direction of military investments for the next decade.

In recent times, we have seen drones become perfected for use, mainly for light recon and heavy drones for autonomous missions. We even have suicide drones now. In a few short years, drones became an invaluable part of the military, playing crucial roles in the current conflicts in Africa and the Middle East. But what does it mean to go to war? Are economic sanctions a form of war? How about cyber terrorism?

The nature of warfare has undergone as much transformation as the technologies that facilitate it, and so has its definition. The book Unrestricted Warfare set out to not only define these methods but also exhibit how China, from an underdog position, can defeat a technologically superior opponent such as the U.S. through a variety of untraditional means. Though, as we see, these methods have been deployed by various actors on the world stage. In the book, these methods can “have the same and even greater destructive force than military warfare, and they have already produced serious threats different from the past and in many directions for...national security.”
