The new Bill Gertz book...

First excerpt printed today in the Washington Times.

This is worth a long look. China's not exactly friendly, but they are on a much weaker foundation than other threats. Their banking system is a mess, and they have a huge demographic time bomb to deal with as well. Don't get me wrong, they can be dangerous, but they're not the primary threat.

Believe me, the LAST person who actually wants something done about this issue is Bill Gertz.

If we could actually lock things down tightly enough to prevent these compromises to Beijing, we would also prevent Bill Gertz from getting material for his articles and books . . .

Small complaint: the text describes a Tiger II, but the illustrations show a Stalin-series (JS-2, I believe).
