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.

Well paced, concise account of the motivations, activities of an authoritarian China. Anyone with a tech, financial or military background will derive huge benefit from this introduction to modern China's global intentions. If you value Western democratic principles or even just your company's IP, read, digest and adjust accordingly. Stay frosty out there.

Stark, clear warning about CCP

If you feared for the future of "the free world" you would be even more sober minded after listening to this. The Chinese Government's suppression of religious belief and a multitude of techniques in manipulation to get people "to conform " were not a surprise but the clever techniques of coercion of big business in the west and foreign governments were eye openers.
Politicians please take note - Foe example, Ed Balls, Labour MP was on Radio 4's Today programme voicing his opposition to "Chinese bashing " Perhaps he may think differently if he considered, open mindedly this well balanced portrayal of China's ambition via stealth.

Every Politician decision maker should read this

Some books are entertaining
Some will broaden your mind
Some will expose a scandal
Other will bore you to death.
This one is one of the most significant books of a generation.
A modern-day book of 'revelations'
...and just like the original...agree or disagree
The one thing you really can't do...ignore it...

Well you can't say you haven't been warned

This is the book that showcase how powerful economy really is. Without an economy there is no military, police, parental, religious, educational and political power. Bottom line is that economy in a universe that we live is an alpha and omega. No amount of political bilateral manuevering will force China to change it's course. I can only highly recommend this book.

An excellent book

Much of the information is actually disturbing, but I have researched elsewhere and no it's true. All the information can be overwhelming at times but is a very good listen.

Very informative.

very good accurate summary of the mess the west has got itself into with its lack of understanding of China. I completely agree with the authors sentiments from my own personal experience of living in China over the last 22 years. I speak mandarin and spent many years understanding the country which still love become twisted to the point I feel my life should also be spent speaking out like this author has done. I don't agree with some of his partisan points on biden etc but that is easily overlooked when he is one of the voices doing his best to articulate change before it's too late for us all, and our system which we take for granted.

good summary- needs a wider audience
