About this ebook
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.

Idea behind book: another world revolves around america book. Every method that author accused China would use with power is already being exploited by america for past few decades including committing war crimes and torture prisoners in Guantanamo bay. Comprehension: written with same level of research that a 24*7 mouth running journalist does, read less babble more level of language. Conclusion: if one is to ignore title, books serves as a compliment to not just China but rest of the emerging economies in balancing out the centre of the power. with multiple centre of power world would have more justice and less one superpower monopoly.

It is a great book; I believe that Americans need help. It's the same as what happened in the 1980s between the USSR & Taliban. The US government should think about Muslims and Arabs as Allies and stop supporting Israel. ☪️ ✝️
