Summary

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.

Critics Review

“In The China Matrix, Lee Smith delivers a searing exposé of the most dangerous alliance of our time: America’s ruling class and the Chinese Communist Party. Smith shows how President Trump shattered the fantasy of a harmless China – and forced the establishment to reckon with the cost of their own corruption. This is a vital, urgent read.”–Tom Cotton, U.S. senator and author of the New York Times bestselling book Seven Things You Can’t Say About China“In his own inimitable style, Lee Smith documents how wrongheaded U.S. policies toward China helped create one of America’s greatest geopolitical foes. As U.S. political and business leaders played footsie with the Chinese Communist Party in order to enrich themselves and their interests, traditional American industries were decimated with devastating consequences for American citizens and communities. Smith makes a very complicated, and consequential, history between the two countries easily readable and explains how Donald Trump is changing the dynamic for the better.”–Julie Kelly, investigative reporter and author“Lee Smith has written a definitive account of how the Chinese Communist Party promoted and then utilized factionalism in the United States in order to undermine American sovereignty, national security, and economic prosperity. The China Matrix provides an account of how this crisis developed, a framework for understanding it, and a proposal for restoring American strength and leadership.”–Ted Cruz, U.S. senator and New York Times bestselling author“Lee Smith is a great American patriot…”–President Donald J. Trump
