The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) relies to a large degree on a strategy of luring powerful figures in American politics and business to extend its influence and avoid the consequences of its misdeeds, according to Peter Schweizer, author of the book “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China.”

“The strategy is to buy off the elites in the United States by giving them lucrative deals and special access to the Chinese market,“ Schweizer told NTD’s ”China in Focus” program on March 21. NTD is an affiliate of The Epoch Times.
