The top weapon in the CCP's cognitive warfare regime—and the primary way to recognize, without the slightest doubt, that they have comprehensively obliterated the West in this domain—is the widespread denial of Taiwan's status as a sovereign, independent country—esp wrt democracies who know better.
"The CCP and People’s Liberation Army take political or psychological warfare as seriously as the kinetic kind. There are several components when it comes to the way the PLA executes psychological warfare..."
"Why cognitive warfare is Beijing's greatest weapon"
From Lavina Lee and John Lee, on China's nuclear weapons and how Beijing has deeply internalised its ideology and outlook into foreign systems, including Australia's, for strategic advantage.

The United States needs laws on the books that would prevent the Chinese from buying property in the U.S.
China has been buying up strategically placed farmland near military installations across the U.S, raising national security concerns about potential espionage or sabotage.
