This podcast titled “War Without Limits: China's Playbook Of Unrestricted Warfare” provides an in-depth exploration of Unrestricted Warfare, a strategic doctrine developed by Chinese PLA colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, which redefines modern conflict by eliminating traditional boundaries between war and peace. It analyzes how warfare has expanded beyond the battlefield into domains such as finance, cyberspace, media, law, and psychology where non-military actors, tools, and tactics play decisive roles. Using real-world case studies like China’s actions in Taiwan, the TikTok controversy, cyber intrusions, and legal-economic coercion, the article shows how Beijing is operationalizing this doctrine to challenge U.S. dominance and reshape global power dynamics all without firing a shot.

This podcast discusses our article “Sun Tzu’s Art of War: China’s Doctrine Against America and Trade War Strategies”, wherein we discuss how China is applying principle’s of Sun Tzu’s Art of War in its battle against American amid this trade war in 21st Century. We aim to decode many of these strategies in this podcast. China’s application of Sun Tzu’s Art of War in the 2025 trade war reflects a masterclass in strategic restraint, indirect confrontation, and long-term positioning. Rather than responding to American tariffs with direct escalation, China has used economic leverage, supply chain dominance, psychological warfare, and alliance disruption to subdue U.S. influence without open conflict. From restricting rare earth exports to deepening ties with ASEAN, and from digital yuan expansion to portraying itself as a stable global leader, China has embodied Sun Tzu’s wisdom: victory is achieved not through fighting, but through shaping conditions so the enemy defeats itself.

We bring to you the podcast on “SWIFT Vs CIPS: Rise of China’s Digital Silk Road” which talks about how China is building its own financial infrastructure from AIIB to Digital Yuan to BlockChain network integrating with its payment system CIPS rivaling the Western backed SWIFT which is backbone of Dollar based financial system. We explore how China’s has integrated this digital architecture not only locally but even internationally through its Belt & Road project thus giving countries across the world an alternative to US backed SWIFT system.
The weaponization of Dollar & sanctions on Iran, Russia, North Korea make China’s CIPS even more attractive to bypass western financial system. China has also expanded this network and using this to settle commodities trade like Oil with Saudi Arabia and infra project settlements in Africa and South East Asia. This is a direct challenge to Pax Americana world order where America & the western world could dominate and dictate terms on global economics & finance.

As President Trump launches reciprocal tariffs on countries across the world on 2nd April 2025, we bring you this podcast discussing the fundamental aspect of “The Great American Reset” in foreign policy, trade and domestic institutions. The podcast the discusses various facets of American trade policy and this duel between American nationalist and globalists in a tug of war.
The podcast discusses Trade wars launched by President Trump in his first term between 2017 to 2021 and how he has once again accentuated the dramatic shift of abandoning the post war global order and international rules based trading system. We see how the America first policy is not only shaping his trade policies, tariff wars but restructuring institutions back home like USAID, Department of Education and the Department of Justice.
Its a fascinating deep dive into how President Trump second coming is resetting the global order with a view to redeem America as global techno-industrial power house even if it means forsaking its post war order. We see how the Trump presidency is re-defining America’s role in shaping the global order.

We discuss how China controls major supply Chains of rare earth minerals and America is fast playing catch up on securing these critical natural resources. From Greenland to Ukraine to Afghanistan to North Korea to Latin America its about these Rare Earth Elements.
While China may control Rare Earth Minerals supply chains, the Chip making lithographic technology is still controlled by ASML & US State Department. We go on to discuss how America launched Minerals Security Partnership and QUAD initiatives to secure these supply chains. From securing supply chains of REE/REM to sanctioning China from getting hands on to critical technology be it Chip Making or High Powered NVIDIA GPUs. The race for Semiconductor Chips & Artificial Intelligence is on. We end this discussion with how the Tech war could not only restructure industrial supply chains but also geo-politics and humanity at large in coming years.

We bring you the podcast on “The Great Game Continues: From Persian Gulf to Indo-Pacific” where we discuss that the Great Game in 19th & 20th century between Britain and Russia never ended. The Great Game just transitioned post World War II from Anglo-Russian rivalry to the Cold War between USA & the Soviet Union. From Saudi Arabia to Iran to Iraq the patterns continued in Cold War era between United States & Soviet Union. The US’s goal during the cold war was to destabilise the pro-soviet regimes in the middle east and stop the Russian access to warm waters of the Persian Gulf in a continuity of the policy of the British Empire.
The Great Game continues till date only the protagonists have changed from British & Russian, to American & Soviets in Cold war to America & China in Cold War 2.0. China is targeting host of countries from Iran to Pakistan to Myanmar to steamroll its Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) opening deep access to Persian gulf which is bringing into direct contest with American power projection in Middle East.
China is challenging USA in Indo-Pacific. The US this time is facing China as Techno-Industrial power and not Soviet Union which was a basket case of socialism. The world is about to witness the battle between two poles i.e. US & China which has not been seen ever before.
In this duality of geo-politics ironically it will be third pole having countries like Russia, India, Israel & Gulf States who could play a pivotal role in tilting the balance of power.
The Great Game in Asia specifically the Indo-Pacific has just begun. We are getting ready for a battle royale!

We bring to you the podcast on The Great Game i.e. rivalry between the British Empire and Russian Empire from Central Asia to Persian Gulf all the way to North Western India. The podcast explains the British anxieties over ever expanding Russian empire into central Asia and towards the British Indian territories. We discuss in this podcast the Anglo-Russian rivalry from the Pamirs to Karakoram to Gilgit Baltistan and how it shaped the geo politics in the region in the 19th and the 20th Century.
The podcast further talks about British double cross in Gilgit Baltistan and how they maneuvered the political situation in Jammu & Kashmir to protect its strategic interests on encroaching Russian influence and trade routes across central Asia. With the decline of Dogra empire the British double crossed India with Gilgit scouts overthrowing the Governor of Gilgit in October 1947 and enabling the illegal occupation of Gilgit Baltistan by Pakistan.
The podcast further discusses how the Great Game between Britain and Russia shaped the fate of the Aksai Chin region, where Soviet Union & China collaborated to mine this mineral rich region to fuel the Soviet Nuclear Program and strengthening Mao’s hands on its North Western flank.
The espionage by British from Gilgit Baltistan on Sino-Soviet activities and the cold war between two blocs shaped the history and geography of the region. The choices these powers made proved fateful leading up to 1962 Indo-China war. We decode the games that were played across this region that have festered conflicts for decades.
