China Threat: The Plan to Defeat America FROM THE PUBLISHER
In his New York Times bestseller Betrayal, Bill Gertz exposed the sorry state of America's foreign policy and military preparedness.
Now, in The China Threat, Gertz reveals the tragic consequences of America's misguided foreign policy. Through missteps, fumbling, and outright appeasement, the United States has helped establish the People's Republic of China as a new global power that threatens American national security and world stability.
Shocking, previously unreported stories allow Gertz to tell the unvarnished truth: The Communist Chinese dictatorship has targeted the United States with an aggressive espionage campaign and aims to push America out of the Pacific with a barrage of ever-increasing military threats. In addition to his eye-opening revelations, Gertz offers a clearheaded strategy for countering the China threat.
Gertz lays out how the Chinese are adhering to Mao Zedong's famous maxim: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." And he shows how the barrel is pointed at the United States.

Gertz, a reporter for , takes a vehement stand on American foreign policy with China, arguing that the US has made a grave error in assisting China in its rise to global power. He accuses the Clinton administration of deliberately leaking information about Chinese intelligence to avert the FBI's campaign finance investigation, as well as covering up intelligence on China that would have exposed their espionage abilities and arms sales. Strongly worded, accusatory, and verging on the conspiratorial, this book should be read with some reservations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
