Dr. Michael Pillsbury sat down with Mark Levin to discuss China’s\u00a0tactical maneuvers against the United States through its science, technological and military capabilities.<\/p>\n
Pillsbury, director of the Center for Chinese Strategy\u00a0for the Hudson Institute, was the Assistant Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Planning under President Reagan.<\/p>\n
He said that during the Cold War, China secretly sold $2 billion worth of weapons to the United States that were then transferred to the Afghan rebels, forcing the Soviet Union into a “humiliating defeat.”<\/p>\n
“We discovered the Chinese were hawks against the Soviet Union,” he said.<\/p>\n
He said it was discovered that the Chinese were willing to use “aggressive efforts” like sniper rifles and commando raids inside the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
Pillsbury told Mark Levin that China also assisted the United States in Cambodia against the Vietnamese Army.<\/p>\n
“The U.S. and several other countries … got together with the Chinese Intelligence Service and provided weapons to the Cambodian resistance.”<\/p>\n
He said, though, that China showed itself as a fierce opponent of the Soviet Union through other project, leading to the belief that they would be pro-America.<\/p>\n
“It turned out that was just a tactical move, that at that time the Soviets were their enemy as well as ours,” Pillsbury said.<\/p>\n
“But who would have thought later that they would see us as a rival for global leadership and turn on us?”<\/p>\n
