Stealth War; How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of China's strategic tactics to gain supremacy, deceitfully bypassing military confrontation. It underscores China's multifaceted approach, encompassing economic manipulation, exploitation of technology, and political subterfuge. Spalding adeptly delineates how the United States, enmeshed in political distractions, has inadvertently facilitated China's covert ascent.

The narrative opens with a detailed illustration of China's deliberate acts designed to weaken the West’s industrial base and critical infrastructure. These include commercial strategies, cyber exploits, and intellectual property theft. Spalding emphasizes how China's authoritarian regime has outmaneuvered democratic nations through persistent economic and diplomatic pressure.

Moreover, the book underscores the concept of "Unrestricted Warfare" employed by China, where traditional warfare is replaced with economic and political stratagems. Through meticulously gathered evidence and insights, Spalding reveals how America has been complicit through inaction and occasional self-serving interests of its elite, leading to a substantial geopolitical shift.

“The greatest threat to the United States is not a direct confrontation with China, but the slow erosion of our national strength through unnoticed and ignored actions.”

“We are living in an era where conflict is waged not by troops on the battlefield but by invisible forces that strike at the heart of our sovereignty and competitiveness.”
