4.0 out of 5 stars Makes for an interesting read......, May 10 2004

By	Alex Salazar (Florida) - See all my reviews

Whether or not China does participate in global subversion of the Unites States I'm not certain. What can't be denied is that China has been fairly successful in recetn years in its intelligence operations in the U.S. Gertz writes of what he believes is a larger Chinese strategy to undermine the U.S. and often blames the Clinton administration for China's success at doing this. Chronicaling such actions as attempted Chinese business take over of the Panama Canal, Gertz makes an interesting argument that should probably be further researched. he does provide interesting documents in the apendix that are worth looking over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Go see for yourself how China has been changing, April 15 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The China Threat (Hardcover)

This book is one of the garden variety of books that exploit the general ignorance of the American public about China. If you stoke rabid nationalism and xenophobia at a time when the U.S. feels vulnerable, you will have the cash register ringing. I wonder how many of those who have given a postive review of this book have ever been or lived in China--or that part of the world, for that matter. The world is already fraught with strife and violence without this kind of stuff. A responsible intellectual should not publish this kind of material without thinking about the ramifications of his or her actions. Well, that's freedom of speech. What can we say? And we sacrifice a few trees along the way for publishing it.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Chinese Rate thebook 1 Star - Star system Schmar System, Mar 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The China Threat (Hardcover)

OOOOOOoooooo K Star system Schmar system - until Amazon institutes a proof of purchase system, I will rate books 5 stars to offset the rants of those who don't read them FIRST.

O.K. China doesn't have a strategic bomber or sub fleet BUT they do have (who knows really?) 50-100 nuclear bullets (ICBM's) with your name on it and the capacity to create another 5-10 per year. They have the Panama Canal lease, & are building silos there. AND, three times, various PRC military officers have threatened to Nuke L.A. over TAIWAN. Sheesh and all that was in the L.A. Times. You think Dr. Strangelove is just a western phenomena?

So buy the book and learn something. You were given a brain, think a little.

-- and if you live near a major city or the West Coast -- think retirement cottage in Banff with 2 years supply of food and 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
