The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower is a 2015 book by Michael Pillsbury. In the book, the author discusses China's strategy to surpass the United States as a leading global power by 2049. Drawing from his extensive experience as a China analyst and policy advisor, Pillsbury argues that this strategy is deeply rooted in Chinese statecraft and strategic thinking, employing methods that include economic growth, espionage, and the subtle manipulation of international norms. Once a "panda hugger," Pillsbury critiques China's stealthy, long-term tactics and analyzes China's historical strategies influencing its modern policies.
