Michael Pillsbury

Michael Paul Pillsbury (born February 8, 1945) is a foreign policy strategist, author, and former public official in the United States. He is a senior fellow for China strategy at The Heritage Foundation and has been Director of the Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., since 2014. Before Hudson, he held various postings in the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Senate. He has been called a "China-hawk", and an "architect" of Trump's policy towards China. In 2018, he was described by Donald Trump as the leading authority on the country.

Pillsbury is the author of three books on Chinese grand strategy. Pillsbury's most recent book, ''The Hundred-Year Marathon,'' appeared as a selection of the 2017 U.S. Special Operations Command, Commanders Reading List, and was number one on ''The Washington Post'' bestsellers list. According to ''The New York Times'', Pillsbury's book "has become a lodestar for those in the West Wing pushing for a more forceful response to the threat that China's rise poses to the United States."
