CHINA: The Deep State’s Trojan Horse in America

Arthur R. Thompson issues a blunt warning in China: The Deep State’s Trojan Horse in America: the Chinese Communist Party treats the United States as its main enemy, and it advances less through open battle than through infiltration. He argues that the PLA operates as the Party’s weapon of influence, directing espionage, propaganda, and technology transfer — while a domestic policy class provides cover. The result is a Trojan horse built not abroad but inside our own institutions. This is where the reality of China’s Deep State collusion becomes undeniable.

Thompson reconstructs the betrayal of Nationalist China after World War II, the Kissinger-orchestrated “opening,” and the corporate migration that followed. He documents how U.S. elites, linked through the Council on Foreign Relations, aided Beijing’s survival after failed campaigns like the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. From there he examines today’s pressure points: immigration flows, UN corridors, election interference, Internet choke points, the façade of “communism as capitalism,” academic recruitment programs like Thousand Talents, military modernization, economic convergence, and pandemic-era leverage. Each arena shows the pattern — Chinese communists weaponize openness, while American power brokers sell it as progress.

This book is designed as a field guide, not a lecture. Thompson writes for readers with responsibility — parents, pastors, educators, local officials, and business owners — who need a clear, compact map of influence operations. His call is practical: guard procurement channels, scrutinize research partnerships, resist federal-global entanglements, and strengthen state and local independence.

The danger is not abstract. The CCP views America’s freedom as the obstacle to its global ambition, and the Deep State at home makes that ambition possible. If liberty is to endure, it must be defended at the level where infiltration happens. Thompson shows where to start, and why now is the moment to act. (2021ed, pb, 178pp)
