Red-Handed; How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win

New York: Harper [An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers], 2022. First Edition [Stated], Third Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [10], 341, [1] pages. Notes. Index. Peter Franz Schweizer (born November 24, 1964) is an American political consultant and writer. He is the president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), senior editor-at-large of media organization Breitbart News, and a former fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution. Schweizer wrote Clinton Cash, a 2015 book discussing donations made to the Clinton Foundation by foreign entities and Bill and Hillary Clinton's income after they left the White House in 2001. Schweizer Hits BOTH SIDES: How Congressional Leaders of both parties secured hundreds of millions of dollars in lucrative deals, courtesy of the Chinese government — and then pulled punches in their criticism of Beijing. No One is Safe: Schweizer Exposes Wall Street, Big Tech, Presidential Families, Ivy League Universities, Professional Athletes and their willingness to sacrifice American strength and security for personal enrichment. Meticulously researched, Red-Handed stayed atop the New York Times Bestseller List for ten weeks. Schweizer and his team of forensic investigators spent more than a year scouring global corporate records and legal filings to expose the hidden transactions China's enablers hoped would never see the light of day. As always, without any anonymous sources but with more than a thousand citations, Peter and the team at the Government Accountability Institute have done it again. Peter Schweizer says that, in a quarter-century as an investigative journalist, this is the scariest investigation he has ever conducted. That the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its quest for global hegemony. Presidential families, Silicon Valley gurus, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League universities, even professional athletes—all willing to sacrifice American strength and security on the altar of personal enrichment. In Red-Handed, six-time New York Times bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer presents his most alarming findings to date by revealing the secret deals wealthy Americans have cut to help China build its military, technological, and economic might. Equally as astonishing, many of these elites quietly believe the Chinese dictatorial regime is superior to American democracy. Schweizer and his team of forensic investigators spent over a year scouring a massive trove of global corporate records and legal filings to expose the hidden transactions China's enablers hoped would never see the light of day. And as Schweizer's past bombshells like Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash all made clear, there are bad actors on both ends of the political spectrum.
Exhaustively researched, crisply told, and chilling, Red-Handed will expose the nexus of power between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.
