The U.S. ruling class sold out America to China. Can Donald Trump destroy the alliance before it's too late?
For half a century, America's establishment has forged an alliance with the Chinese Communist Party--one that enriched elites, hollowed out the middle class, and imperiled U.S. national security. They sold out American workers for cheap labor, Wall Street profits, and political power. But then came Donald Trump.
In The China Matrix, New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order--at America's expense. From Henry Kissinger's secret dealings with Mao to the tech oligarchs cozying up to Xi Jinping, Smith exposes the web of corruption and betrayal that spans decades. He reveals how globalism, Silicon Valley, and the media worked together to whitewash China's crimes while dismantling American industry and national security.
But this is also a story of resistance. Smith chronicles how Trump's presidency shattered the illusion of a benign China, forcing the establishment to confront the consequences of their own greed. From trade wars to TikTok, fentanyl to finance, The China Matrix details the battle between America First and the entrenched pro-China elite--and what's at stake in the next chapter of this global showdown.
With stunning new revelations about Elon Musk's growing influence, Joe Biden's China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing's espionage network, The China Matrix is a gripping exposé of the most dangerous alliance in modern history--and the fight to break free before time runs out.
