Book review: China’s media warfare against TaiwanFor Chinese strategists, media warfare, and the broader political warfare effort of which media warfare is part, is just as important as building the PLA into a force able to defeat Taiwan’s militaryBy Grant Newsham / Contributing reporterCan the People’s Republic of China (PRC) invade and conquer Taiwan? Last year, he published a seminal work on PRC Political Warfare: Political Warfare: Strategies for Combating China’s plan to “Win without Fighting.”This time, Gershaneck focuses on what China has done and is doing to Taiwan on the media warfare front.
