Write a founding strategy document on China
What the document says“The U.S. government needs an Article X for China”
Article X refers to the anonymous 1947 article that set out the doctrine of containment toward the Soviet Union. The chapter says the State Department and National Security Council should draft an equivalent for China as a presidential mandate, and that it should be a deeply philosophical look at the challenge. It says a strategy of competing where necessary while cooperating where possible, including on climate change, has demonstrably failed, and that the issue is with the Communist dictatorship rather than the Chinese people.
What the document actually says“The U.S. government needs an Article X for China”
America needs one big plan for China. It should be like the one written about the Soviet Union.
In 1947 an article set out how to handle the Soviet Union. It shaped policy for years. The book says China needs the same kind of plan now.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The nearest candidate is the notice of November 5, 2025 continuing the national emergency declared by Executive Order 13959 over securities investments that finance certain companies of the People's Republic of China. It keeps an existing investment restriction in force and states no doctrine. Nothing indexed here is a founding strategy document on China of the kind the chapter asks the State Department and the National Security Council to write, and a document of that kind would not normally be published in the Federal Register. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
