How long would you tolerate thieves breaking into your home to steal your precious jewels?
For years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been getting away with doing just that by orchestrating the theft of cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property– the crown jewels of the United States economy and its national security.
Chinese companies controlled by the CCP have been embedding themselves into the heartland of American business by systematically investing in and buying U.S. companies.
It’s not like a bank robbery with alarms going off. It’s a silent crime spree that costs Americans 600 billion dollars a year, according to the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.
The case of Dallas energy entrepreneur Patrick Jenevein is a textbook example of how Chinese state-backed entities exploit American businesses to fuel China’s economic, geopolitica, andl totalitarian ambitions.
His book about the experience, Dancing With The Dragon, is a cautionary tale about the threat posed by the United States’ number one adversary.
And the nation’s failure to do much about it.
