In this book, Edouard Prisse describes the enrichment of China with our funds and predicts Chinese hegemony over the West unless an end is called to the free trade that enriches Beijing. It is almost too late already. The original errors, the illusions we had, the baseless predictions we made, where 'we' stands for both our political leaders, our press and the many writers of opinion articles in highly regarded publications like e.g. Foreign Affairs, the Brookings Institution Press and the New York Times, they were all given here. No other such clear exposure of the errors that were made and of what is really happening can be found. The logic is inescapable and provides a clear look into the future of our society. There is, too, exposure of the secret Chinese misinformation over the last two decades that China was able to hide so very cleverly from view but that has had an enormous influence on our thinking, on our too great optimism, on our blindness about China's danger to us. This book is serious, worrisome but also fun to read.
