Summary: We refuse to see the threat while China presses ahead...
Comment: "The China Threat" is another in a series of books attempting to get Americans to look past their expectations for financial gain from trade with China -- to confront the reality of China's empty promises on missile proliferation, to understand their hostile intentions towards America, and to realize Beijing's utter lack of interest in democratic reform and human rights.
In the 1970s through the fall of the Berlin Wall, China and America enjoyed a marriage of convenience as they confronted the Soviet threat. Sadly, American foreign policy vis a vis China did not adjust to the end of the Cold War -- and Beijing naturally took advantage of this.
Gertz carefully chronicles how China has managed to buy or steal our most critical national security secrets. He documents how China views missile and nuclear proliferation as a way to threaten the United States (the enemy of my enemy is my friend). He sets out some sobering scenarios for Chinese aggression in Asia -- and even in our own backyard.
No one should doubt the seriousness of the China threat after reading this book. Clearly China will present as great a threat to our safety and freedom as did Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

Summary: Gertz Delves and Doves Dive
Comment: Bill Gertz writes about the apparent threat that China poses to US national security. The Clinton/Gore policy of "engagement" is put into question as the author argues that US national security is being sacrificed in the wake. Gertz supports his claims in detailed narratives about topics as the Chinese control of Panama Canal, the presence of PRC spies leaking valuable US nuclear secret, and the importance of the functioning Chinese democracy on the island of Taiwan.
The blame is largely put on Clinton/Gore's soft "panda hugger" approach to Chinese foriegn policy. Gertz goes as far as to claim that the policy's failure to be cautious,actually helped communist Chinese government to advance their nuclear strengths. Much is cited on the 1996 illegal campaign contributions to the Democratic efforts in reelction.
Gertz succeeds in proving a seemingly valid arguement in the dangers of a China threat, but sometimes goes a bit far in right wing view. The reader can question which view to endorse for the achievement of world peace. Clinton/Gore's policy is aimed at combating the negative international view of the US being an excessive world hegonomy. Gertz digs deep into secret documents to interrupt this sentiment with announcements of covert US-China concerns.
Although not threatening to the books thesis, the absence of bibliography and footnotes leaves me puzzled and wondering where the sources come from. Every respected intellectual work should be accompanied with scholarly notes to aid the advanced reader. This absence teamed with the prose often reading like a fiction novel(such as the intro to Chapter 5) work to discredit some ascpects of the author's points. However, the book remains a must read for American citizens seeking to form an educated assesment of Chinese foriegn policy.

Summary: Fianlly China is EXPOSED!!!
Comment: For too long the liberally-biased media has ignored the true ramifications of a country like China in the world, and its relation to America's future. After all, their own left-wing interests are used to hide the truth -- that China is an incredible threat to America, and any other democratically-elected country. Why else did the communist-Chinese military give money to the Bill Clinton via the Democratic party? What was their real long-term agenda? Why was this issue never really talked about in the media?
Gertz stays away from the liberal rhetoric to expose the dark- side of China with relentless evidence from both de-classified government material to his own in-depth research and analysis. It is this intense research, and personal arguements based on FACTS, that gives Gertz the intellectual credibility that has so many liberals in the media crying foul. One just needs to look at the reviews on Amazon that find the truth being exposed as "unfair" and disliked greatly. It is exactly this reason why The China Threat will be a valuable read to anyone interested in protecting America from historical Chinese aggression, ethno-centric arrogance, and corruption of the human spirit.
Given that this book is a fairly easy read for most, and gets to the major points fast with a tremendous amount of supporting evidence, will make it a best seller...And a GREAT WEAPON in destroying all the left-wing, liberally-biased media propaganda that is displayed on our televisions and newspapers through the likes of CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
