Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat
From the acclaimed author of Mao’s America comes the untold story of how misguided and selfish U.S. elites transformed China from a Communist wasteland into a global superpower—at America’s expense.
One of the most effective anti-communist voices in America today, Xi Van Fleet made waves with her breakout book Mao’s America, exposing eerie parallels between China’s past and America’s present woke revolution. Now, alongside renowned Chinese dissident Yu Jie, she sounds the alarm once more—revealing how the CCP’s rise was not just enabled by Soviet Russia but, shockingly, by the United States itself.
Understanding this hidden history is essential for Americans in confronting the CCP’s global ambitions and stopping the spread of Communism at home.
For over a century, progressive and Communist ideologies have steadily infiltrated American society, shaping U.S.-China policies that have, intentionally or not, empowered the CCP. From its founding in 1921 to its brutal takeover of China 28 years later, the CCP’s ascent was fueled by foreign support—first from the Soviets, then increasingly from the U.S. After the Sino-Soviet split and the near-collapse of China, the United States emerged as the CCP’s primary enabler, helping transform it into the world’s second-largest economy and our greatest geopolitical threat.
Most Americans remain unaware of their own country’s role in the CCP’s unprecedented success. While others have explored pieces of this story, no book has revealed the full picture—until now. With meticulous research and unflinching clarity, this book exposes the uncomfortable to effectively counter the CCP, we must first dismantle communist influence at home.

A very good book. I learned a lot about the history of China and how it became communist. The failings of some American presidents that led to this is tragic. We should exercise caution when trusting China based on their history of sabotage, espionage, and IP theft.

MADE IN AMERICA
XI VAN FLEET and YU JIE
Review by Author Roy Murry
If you are like most people in the United States of America, you are ignorant of China's History and how our politicians, particularly our presidents, have helped in the development of the CCP, until now. The authors intelligently lay out this enablement.
The 100-year plan of the Chinese Communist Party to influence and control the world begins with the infiltration of the West. It spreads its socialist ideology to undermine current free, capitalist, democratic thinking.
U.S. presidents, politicians, entrepreneurs, and many others have overlooked the CCP's propensity to undercut democracies in the past. The authors show when, how, and where the CCP has succeeded in convincing people that communism is good for everyone.
The authors' historical evaluation goes back to when China was at war with Japan and extends up to Trump's confrontation over tariffs. The reader will have no trouble following this ample narrative.
An excellent read.

I finished this a couple of days ago and it is well written and well researched, opened my eyes to how much we are to blame for China's rise and how little our school system teaches us. I am deeply disappointed in our judicial system for allowing so much of this grift to let go free.
I also read Xi Van Fleet's first book which was also very good.
