#1 New York Times Bestseller

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: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, 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

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.

This Book Will Expose the Nexus of Power Between the Chinese Government and the American Elites Who Do Its Bidding

Exhaustively researched, crisply told, and chilling, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win will expose the nexus of power between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.

The deadly Chinese covid-19 virus: was it a plot by radical Chinese commies to weaken us in advance of their military aggression?

The political and media warfare has never ended. Just as an impeachment case collapsed in the Senate earlier this year, the world was beginning to realize how large a threat the Chinese communist government had become—and what it had been hiding in Wuhan. The destruction caused by the coronavirus is the latest and greatest test for the Trump prosperity agenda as well as Senile Joe's High-inflation incompetence agenda. Trump told his audiences that America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. Exactly!

Socialism, the leftist favorite, is simply communism on a slow train—was the CCP of China (Chinese Communist Party) behind the sudden leftist love for socialism?

It makes one wonder how much China has been behind the ugly national polarization in the USA. The left is saying it wants socialism, which is simply communism on a slow train. This is exactly what China has wanted us to do—turn commie, even if we go the slow train route. Our academics preach how bad the USA is and how good the Marxists are, as well as preaching CRT lies, which is supposed to prove that we are hopelessly racist so our democracy is not worth saving. So let's all go socialist—which will transform into communism fairly rapidly as the left keeps censoring conservative thought and speakers and reducing our rights and freedoms until little is left of democracy, but a few of the liberal elites become aristocracy while the citizens look around with no rights, no property, no Constitution, and no freedom, saying while blinking "What happened?" while Kamala Harris' insane giggle is heard in the background, and Biden looks around confused, saying: "Hey, man, where am I? Who am I? Why am I here? Who is this dark-skinned giggling maniac here?"

Kamala Harris—the dark-skinned giggling maniac


After the anti-American anti-white CRT plan kicks in and socialism evolves into Marxist communism, a few of the liberal elites become aristocracy while the citizens look around with no rights, no property, no Constitution, and no freedom, saying while blinking 'What happened?'


Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, who is succeeding at using his power to infiltrate the US with Marxist values by way of ignorant radical leftist CRT stooges that have no idea the treachery they've unleashed—see American Marxism

This Book Outlines the Double Dipping of the Bidens and Legislators Retiring to Become High Paid Lobbyists for China and More Directly the CCP

Peter Schweizer bravely outlines the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) seduced and is still seducing the Washington elite and many others of the elite political class in America. The elite followed willingly the irresistible quest for Chinese-offered unlimited wealth and adulation. Schweizer, in Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, outlines the double dipping of the Bidens and legislators retiring to become high paid lobbyists for China and more directly the CCP. We must counter Beijing’s elite capture strategy wherein bribes corrupt and our government is for sale by the greedy. It is time to stop sleeping with the enemy.

First up in Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win is the Biden Family and how deep the entanglements with China reach. Involvement begins when Joe was a congressman, magnifies while he was a Vice President with his son Hunter. Then his brother and others join in and the subterfuge becomes more pronounced. Laptop issues with Hunter are discussed as are the President’s claims of no knowledge. Perhaps "Biden" means dirty filthy liar in Swahili?

Why Do So Many College Professors Support Marxism? Why Does Black Lives Matter Support Marxism?

Marxism underpins the Black Lives Matter agenda, which is why their actions fit with the Marxist playbook. "So, Black Lives Matter at least has a good start on accomplishing Garza’s Marxist goal of “dismantling the organizing principle of society.” But what does it seek to put in its place?

"Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, Black Lives Matter’s three main founders, have always been candid about their Marxism, which is a synonym for communism.

"In 2015, Garza told SF Weekly that “social movements all over the world have used Marx and Lenin as a foundation to interrupt these systems that are really negatively impacting the majority of people.”

"Also that year, she told a gathering of world communists, Left Forum, that it’s “not possible for a world to emerge where black lives matter if it’s under capitalism, and it’s not possible to abol­ish capitalism without a struggle against national oppression.”" (Source: Marxism Underpins Black Lives Matter Agenda, Mike Gonzalez, Heritage)

For Years, the U.S. Has Been on a Slow, Steady Path Toward the Same Communist Society as China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba and Other Repressive Regimes Have

As Bill Fullen Sr. says about the U.S., "For years, we’ve been on a slow steady path toward the same communist society as China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba and other repressive regimes have. Many in academia, media and politics have worked to indoctrinate our young people and others with the idea that socialism is 'compassionate' and makes everyone’s outcome in life equal through legislation. As Lenin once stated, “The goal of socialism is communism.” Socialism inevitably leads to communism. In which people are continually stripped of their rights until all that remains is a tyrannical, totalitarian regime with total control over the people." [Then the leftists could finally stop obsessing about Black people's rights. They wouldn't have any!] (Source: US passing through socialism on way to communism, BILL FULLEN SR., Galveston News)

Schweizer says: "For decades, the proverbial wisdom has been that China was going to liberalize. We were told by political figures and members of the business class that China would become more open. China was not a threat; it was a Western wannabe. Give them free trade, access to technology, and American capital, and they would become more like us. This attitude has proliferated into a new establishment consensus, one that conveniently enriches many American elites. Beijing is happy to encourage this false assumption to advance their own very different political agenda."

Biden and Hunter sold out to China bigtime.

"Of course, China has not liberalized. It has become more aggressive and repressive. Yet those elites who advised us on such a course of action got fabulously wealthy along the way. Should we let lobbyists represent Chinese companies in the corridors of American power? Should we be investing our 401(k)s in Chinese companies? Should we keep thinking—against all evidence—that we can “engage” with China and make it a positive force on the planet?

U.S. Media's Biggest Dirty Secret: Hunter and Joe Biden's Elite Capture by China, Hidden by the Media and Twitter and the Corrupt Crooks at the FBI

"In the world of espionage, practitioners use the term 'elite capture' to describe successful efforts to essentially buy off members of a country’s leadership. [Example: Hunter and Joe Biden's elite capture by China, hidden by the media and Twitter and the corrupt crooks at the FBI.] Opportunities to get wealthy are a key motivator. Beijing hopes that at a minimum this approach will neutralize members of the elite by making them less critical or resistant to their policies, or at a maximum turn them into actual advocates for Beijing's position. But for some, there are other motives beyond just money. . . . Elites share an infatuation with dictatorship. They believe the Beijing dictatorship is more efficient—even a better system overall—than representative democracy (writes Schweizer)." See Leftist Fascism, and American-Marxism

In the world of espionage, practitioners use the term 'elite capture' to describe successful efforts to essentially buy off members of a country’s leadership. [Example: Hunter and Joe Biden's elite capture by China]

"China in the 1970s and 1980s acted as a de facto ally of the United States in the waning years of the Cold War. And after the fall of the Soviet Union, many US elites continued the policy of “engagement” with China, which they hoped would result in a more open Chinese political system and create a huge market for US goods. The Chinese political system did not open up, but some American elites reaped (and continue to reap) huge financial rewards for continuing engagement with China. . . . And Schweizer’s tale of influence peddling and its policy implications takes no prisoners. He shows how both Democrats and Republicans in the executive and legislative branches of the US government, US businesspersons, and elite American universities (like Yale) have been influenced by China’s money. . . . He names names—the Bidens, the Bushes, current and former Capitol Hill leaders, including Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, and Diane Feinstein, former diplomats such as Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, William Cohen, and Max Baucus, and Silicon Valley and Wall Street titans such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, Eric Schmidt, Ray Dalio, Stephen Schwarzman, John Thornton, Larry Fink, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg. . . . Schweizer recommends banning lobbying on behalf of Chinese companies that are linked to the PLA and China’s intelligence services; prohibiting military/intelligence-linked Chinese companies from appearing on the US stock exchange; banning joint research by American universities, investors, and corporations with Chinese projects that implicate military and intelligence capabilities; and encouraging shareholder activism to hold company executives to account for nefarious deals with China."

Schweizer recommends encouraging shareholder activism to hold company executives to account for nefarious deals with China

The media simply ignored the possibility that a group of self-avowed Marxists, which openly seek to overturn our society, made use of George Floyd’s tragedy to lead violent disturbances while holding up BLM signs, and boasted of their insurrectionist aims, and has so far largely succeeded in its goal of undermining American values as corrupt and needing replacement by communist values. The part of the media that reacted patriotically in horror at their insurrectionism was canceled, insulted, and shamed, but they were conservatives who were uncancelable by leftist traitors and fools who were blindly and unknowingly fulfilling China's desires for the U.S. to go Marxist and reject capitalism.

U.S. elites turning out to be the main source of China's economic and military power is disheartening and disappointing. Especially since China bragged about this being a well-known communist strategy to use American greed as a tool to expand their powers and influence, while the happily captured American elites looked the other way and even supported China. Why are the elites so willing to sacrifice American strength and security on the altar of personal enrichment? Are their ethics so shallow? Is their patriotism that lacking? This book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, is a great source for understanding how so many elites (Bidens, Bushes, Mark Zuckerberg, etc.) sold out to clever Chinese Communist Party tactics. We recommend it enthusiastically.
