Selecting, inflicting, and repeating those thousand cuts require lateral thinking to help us develop mindsets that, in all our dealings with China, will help squeeze the CCP of revenue at every corner.
The thousand cuts can overwhelm the CCP with swarms of relatively small counterattacks, none of which is necessarily aggressive and few of which have much significance of their own.
One of those thousand cuts was when Trump pressured many American universities to shut down the CCP’s Confucius Institutes, believed to have been used to assess, compromise, and recruit Americans to act as spies. With pinpoint precision, his China Initiative targeted academics and researchers aiding the CCP. He imposed narrow tariffs on Chinese solar panel component manufacturers that damaged U.S. companies and blocked certain CCP-related investments.
