Synopsis

#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, 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―in a stunning display of elite capture―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 that pose a grave national security threat 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 and political corruption between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.  

Schweizer’s investigation uncovers the startling evidence of:

• Secret Deals with Beijing: How presidential families, Wall Street financiers, and Silicon Valley titans have cut deals that benefit China’s military, technological, and economic power.
• The Washington-Beijing Axis: The hidden financial ties between powerful U.S. politicians and officials with direct links to Chinese intelligence and the Chinese Communist Party.
• Compromised National Security: Why Peter Schweizer calls this his “scariest investigation”―a deep dive into how personal enrichment is sacrificing American strength.
• A Bombshell Forensic Investigation: The stunning findings from over a year of scouring global corporate records and legal filings that expose transactions many hoped would never see the light of day.
