Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans

Peter Schweizer’s book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, published in 2024, is a political narrative that develops Schweizer’s theories about corruption and foreign interference in the United States, focusing primarily on the relationship between American elites and China. Schweizer, a conservative investigative journalist and political counselor, is known for his work on divulging financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest of high-profile figures in the landscape of American politics, such as Hilary Clinton and Hunter Biden.

Schweizer’s expertise lies in elaborating accounts regarding political corruption and foreign intrusion. Blood Money follows in the vein of his previous works, such as Clinton Cash and Red Handed, which function as character assassinations, particularly of prominent Democrats. Blood Money is part of the political conspiracy sub-genre and centers the idea that American politicians, particularly those on the left, have compromised national security by allowing China to infiltrate and destabilize the US through various methods, including drug warfare, information campaigns, and others. This guide explores the themes like Covert Manipulation and Disinformation Campaigns, the Interconnection of Organized Crime and State Interests, and The Erosion of American Values Through Foreign Interference.
