China’s entropic war in South Asian nations like Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Maldives is at an advanced stage, according to strategists. These unrestricted war operations are to ensure China’s hegemony in its backyard where it wants to push its agendas and counter adversaries like India, an important U.S. ally in the Indo-Pacific, they say.
The idea of entropic warfare goes back two millennia to China’s Warring States period, according to Brig. Gen. David R. Stilwell (ret.), former Pentagon deputy director for politico-military affairs for Asia and assistant secretary of state for the bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs who’s currently on the advisory council of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue University.
