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 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.

    Critic reviews

    “[A] searing exposé of how the Chinese Communist Party continues to conduct its war for
    influence around the world.”
    ―Washington Examiner

    “As the former US Department of Defense attaché to China, General Spalding is in a unique position to offer a gripping tale of the multiple battlefronts of China’s war against America. Ten years from now, readers will remember this seminal work that accurately describes the current and future states of play between the world’s great powers.”
    ―J. Kyle Bass, Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital Management

    Such hardcore content delivered in a coffee shop conversational style. Great work! Kudos to the writer and the narrator.

    General Spalding outlines the greatest and most urgent threat on democratic nations/ human rights in general; the CCP. Supported with irrefutable evidence he describes China's use of unrestricted warfare to slowly become the dominant economic power. Probably THE most important book of the next decade, I urge everyone to read this as it apply's to EVERYONE who wants to live in a free society.

    Important for the future of Democracy and freedom.
