Core Viewpoint - The report titled "Ideological Colonialism - The Means, Roots, and International Hazards of American Cognitive Warfare" reveals the historical and systematic approach of the U.S. in conducting cognitive warfare globally, introducing the term "ideological colonialism" to the public [2][15]. Group 1: Historical Context and Cognitive Warfare - The U.S. has historically viewed the "rest of the world" from a perspective of cultural superiority, engaging in activities such as ideological export, manipulation of international public opinion, and attempts to subvert foreign governments [2]. - The period from 1949 to 1972 is identified as the starting point for the formation of the U.S. cognitive model towards China, characterized by a binary opposition of communism and anti-communism, and a "mirror thinking" approach that projected Cold War perceptions onto China [7][5]. - The CIA's reliance on secretive and selective information sources has evolved, with a shift towards more human intelligence and open-source intelligence due to increased interactions between the U.S. and China [10][12]. Group 2: Current Dynamics and Challenges - Despite the historical complexities, the U.S. continues to exhibit a tendency towards confrontation and containment of China, driven by a historical inertia in its cognitive approach [9]. - The rise of artificial intelligence and social media has transformed the landscape of information dissemination, leading to concerns about the "algorithmic black box" and its potential to manipulate narratives in favor of U.S. interests [17][15]. - The CIA's role in cognitive warfare has become more covert, with a significant shift of resources towards hidden cognitive operations, reflecting a response to the perceived threats from China [14][13].
