Dealing with the Chinese Dictatorship
Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, by Peter Schwei-zer, New York, N.Y., Harper (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers), 2022, 341 pages, hardcover.
You have probably heard a version of this sad song before. In fact, author Peter Schweizer, president of the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute and a former fellow at the Hoover Institution, has written other bestsellers with similar refrains, albeit directed at different targets. His previous works include Architects of Ruin, Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, and Profiles of Corruption.
As we write, this book has been number one on the New York Times bestseller list for the past several weeks, as well as sitting atop Amazon and Barnes & Noble lists since being published in late January. It kicks off with Lenin’s infamous prediction that capitalists “will work on the preparation of their own suicide.” That has often been rendered as a forecast that capitalists will sell communists “the rope with which to hang them.”
