Reviewer comment:
This is a super important book based on extensive research, insider
information, and clear analysis. The title tells the story. But too many
Americans and Europeans have already been subverted, manipulated, bribed,
threatened and worse. The authors come from a different national perspective
and provide insight to the reality of for what the CCP and Xi are planing and
working asiduously. And the authors make it very clear that the CCP is NOT the
Chinese people who themselves are being dominated by all of the above policies.
The book was written mostly based on what has transpired during the Trump,
Obama, and Bush presidencies. Now with Biden under control of the radical
leftist - one world - new world order revolutionaries the situation is rapidly
becoming worse. The content devotes much analysis to Canada and Europe with
information not generally read by Americans. The glossary and acronyms are very
helpful in listing Chinese names and meanings. The content greatly expands
information about what the CCP is actually doing today.
