Summary

Through a coordinated 'whole-of-society' strategy, the Chinese Communist Party has dramatically expanded its covert operations to acquire America's most valuable innovations - stealing defense secrets and proprietary technology from companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Google, T-Mobile, and Tesla. By exploiting both human and cyber vulnerabilities, China has quietly looted the crown jewels of Western technology, saving itself trillions in R&D costs since the 1990s - with an ongoing brazenness fueled by decades of Western inaction. Drawing on investigations and interviews with intelligence officers, corporate security teams, senior policymakers, and espionage victims, David R. Shedd and Andrew Badger reveal how industrial theft has fueled China's meteoric rise from Third World backwater to global superpower - and present a bold strategic playbook to turn the tide.
