  <description>&lt;p&gt;Fentanyl flooding our streets. Chinese nationals buying farmland next to 342 U.S. military bases. Manufacturing gutted. A biological weapon unleashed on the world. Beijing has been waging war on America for decades—without firing a single bullet—and most Americans still don't recognize it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Retired Marine Colonel Grant Newsham, author of When China Attacks and Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy, joins Restoration Spotlight with a warning the Beltway class doesn't want you to hear: China may not need a shooting war at all. We've already been weakened enough to lose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Topics include:&lt;br&gt;
• How China wages war without declaring it—and why Americans can't see it&lt;br&gt;
• Fentanyl as chemical warfare, COVID as biological warfare&lt;br&gt;
• 277,000 acres of American farmland near U.S. military bases—and congressional silence&lt;br&gt;
• The U.S. dollar, free trade, and China's one fatal vulnerability&lt;br&gt;
• What the Ukraine war taught Beijing about fighting America&lt;br&gt;
• How a war over Taiwan could actually begin&lt;br&gt;
• Why Chinese elites are hiding their money overseas&lt;/p&gt;
