About this listen

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.

Mid

Sensationalizing, overly hyper I felt

Yes china doesn't have freedom like USA does.

China has some interests.
1) It wants to stop opposition voices and remain in power
2) It wants to aquire technology for the country.
3) Ofcourse it wants to increase its influence.

Thats normal. I'm fine with that. Or I knew that and I'm used to that.

Its a race. China is catching up.

It uses means to achieve its goals that other civilized countries dont do.

It has worked and has given china benefits and there has been no consequences for it.

Hence Stealth War.

I did not learn anything new from the book.

But it's a fine book for other people who do not know.

He says that China is a ponzi scheme and will collapse. Yeah heard that a million times before.

I agree with him that China's government appears to be good and smiles but has its own interests and is ruthless about it. I listened to The Long Game book. It showed how China has treated my country India.

Lastly his recommendations to stop investing in China, derisking and having an independent 5g have happened.

This book was published in 2019. He must hate China more now because of Covid. Lol

An insightful experience of a strange future

A first hand / real-time experience from the author of developments of amongst the most sinister developments in the history of humanity - makes movie plots look like child’s play. It is unfortunate on America’s blindness, but was always questionable to give-up practically the entire industrial empire to one nation - which clearly did not agree/follow principles of free markets nor democracy, leave alone capitalism. Anyways, this book is a wake up call, posturing Americans to take lead and reshape the global agenda. An awakening of sorts. Real incidences ongoing daily basis - look at the India border encroachment, threats to Taiwan, to Tibet, a few days back May21 to Bangladesh from joining the Quad, and stories replete with authoritarianism of state control in a democracy.... a must read for any believer of freedom & democracy.
