Publisher's Summary

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 30-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 US and the rest of the free world to combat - and win - China's stealth war.

China is an absolute threat. Wake Up Friends!

The author is a good Man. He understand who really is a pain in the side of our great country and continent. China is a threat and everyone needs to wake up. The Government continues to sell out to foreign intrusion. I'm happy the author has written this. He gets it. Its important that we all understand the importance of keeping the free market, freedom of speech, our values and our borders safe.

A scary but urgent reality check

Well written and documented. Easy to follow and understand. Interesting and seemingly inevitable solutions are suggested. I highly recommend it.

Hair Raising

Anyone who thinks that China is an ally to the western world should read this.

Robert covers everything from the great scandal that is China's economy, to the plight of American investors, to the massive theft of Intellectual Property that is happening right under our noses.

An excellent book, highly recommended.

Informative Eye Opening Confirming!

As a layperson with many interests, I have seen some of the obvious tactics mentiones in this book. However, on a higher-level, it is mindblowing to discover the same pattern of behaviours and trusted officials lack of insight.
I don't think America is the pure voice for democracy. as a matter of fact, the world needs a new type of relational, an all-in, economic system unlike the current capitalist one that has fed the greed and bolstered the pockets of USA's elite with its well-known and documented inhumane foundations. Much of the impact very visible as corporate greed and wealth gaps cobtinue to grow. These very things are at the base of the blindness America now experiences. Although I would like to see a new, fairer, people-first regime, there is no current leadership up to the task. I do know; however, that I want to preserve my agency so that means China, in its current dictatorship, is not an option for world dominance. The book makes it so clear what the issues are and why we need to understand geo-relational forces and their behaviours. China's non-commital to anything democratic is the biggest red flag. Great read! Invaluable advice!
