Summary: Red-Handed: Peter Schweizer: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win - E-book - ePub

This is a summary book of Peter Schweizer's New York Times best-selling novel Red-Handed, not meant to replace but supplement it. Peter Schweizer thinks this is the most horrific research he has ever attempted as an investigative journalist in his quarter-century. The Chinese government's desire to infiltrate American groups is unsurprising. On the other hand, the number of American elites willing to support the Chinese state in its quest for global hegemony is unprecedented.
Presidential families, Silicon Valley billionaires, Wall Street tycoons, Ivy League universities, and even professional athletes are all willing to put personal benefit ahead of national security. In Red-Handed, six-time New York Times bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer uncovers his most alarming discovery, including private transactions undertaken by wealthy Americans to help China grow its military, technological, and economic dominance.
In addition, many of these elites privately favor China's authoritarianism over American democracy. Schweizer and his forensic investigators sifted through a massive collection of international corporate records and court files for over a year to uncover the hidden transactions that China's facilitators hoped would go unnoticed. Red-Handed will reveal the power relationship between the Chinese government and the American elites that serve it.
Well-researched, well-spoken, and terrifying, it has become a must-read.
