Synopsis

China expert Robert Spalding reveals the shocking success China has had infiltrating American institutions and compromising our national security.

The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure--and they're winning. It's almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese.

In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China's motives and secret attacks on the West. Chronicling how our leaders have failed to protect us over recent decades, he provides shocking evidence of some of China's most brilliant ploys, including:

Placing Confucius Institutes in universities across the United States that serve to monitor and control Chinese students on campus and spread communist narratives to unsuspecting American students.
Offering enormous sums to American experts who create investment funds that funnel technology to China.
Signing a thirty-year agreement with the US that allows China to share peaceful nuclear technology, ensuring that they have access to American nuclear know-how.
Spalding's concern isn't merely that America could lose its position on the world stage. More urgently, the Chinese Communist Party has a fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people and seeks to create a world without those rights.

Despite all the damage done so far, Spalding shows how it's still possible for the U.S. and the rest of the free world to combat--and win--China's stealth war.

Goodreads review by Jakub on October 23, 2019

This book is deeply rooted in the context of the time when it was written. One wonders how it will age - if it ages badly, all the worse for all of us. A short summary would be that the author bangs the drums of war against China. He translates the many ways in which China abuses the free market syste......more

Goodreads review by Sau Cheung on November 26, 2019

3.5 I knew the book would carry an anti-China bias but I did not expect it to be so strong. I think the book would have been better served if he presented a better balance. His basic premise is that China has taken advantage of US and other countries over the past 20-30 years. There's definitely trut......more
