Few studies have systematically tracked how China is using gray zone tactics—coercive activities beyond normal diplomacy and trade but below the use of kinetic military force— against multiple U.S. allies and partners. Lacking a foundational empirical baseline, it is difficult to determine patterns and trends in Chinese activities to develop effective counters to them.

Approach RAND Project AIR FORCE developed a framework to categorize China’s use of gray zone tactics against five U.S. allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific and to identify the most problematic People’s Republic of China (PRC) tactics that the United States could prioritize countering. Based on open-source material, this report provides a more in-depth understanding of Chinese operations in the gray zone.
