An indirect approach to conflict with the People' s Republic of China (PRC) might reduce the immense damage a direct conflict would cause to the United States, its allies and partners, and global trade. What are the potential indirect approaches to countering the PRC threat, and how would the PRC react? How can non-attributable, asymmetric, indirect actions and non-traditional partner operations be integrated into Joint Force campaigning efforts? What activities offer the greatest payoff across the conflict continuum-in competition, crisis, and/or contingency? Historical examples and case studies of such activities, combined with concrete
recommendations on how to incorporate them, will be especially useful.
