My Bookish Life Book Review: Trump vs. China

          Hello everybody! How have you all been? I know it's been a minute since I posted. Things just got crazy and I also fell into a bit of a reading slump. That being said though I will hopefully be back more in March.  I would like to get this review up while my kid is asleep so lets get started!

Title: Trump vs. China
Author: Newt Gingrich
Genre: Non-fiction 
Pages: 448
Rating : 3 stars

Synopsis:           The United States is currently engaged in a competition with the Chinese government unlike any other that we have witnessed before. This is a competition between the American system—which is governed by freedom and the rule of law—and a totalitarian dictatorship that is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. These are two different visions for the future; one will succeed, and one will fail.

            It is possible for America to respond to the Chinese Communist Party's efforts, but doing so will require new thinking, many big changes, and many hard choices for our leaders in government and private sector.

              Newt Gingrich's Trump vs. China serves as a rallying cry for the American people and a plan of action for our leaders in government and the private sector. Written in a language that every American can understand but still rich in detail and accurate in fact, Trump vs. China exposes the Chinese Communist Party's multi-pronged threat against the United States and what we must do as a country to survive.

            My thoughts on the book: I found it decently interesting. A good amount of this stuff was stuff I already knew but, I did learn some new things . The things I learned was mostly stuff about China's business dealings and also more about the communist system they have set up .

             I did think it was interesting to read about how China has more or less infiltrated our system a good bit . What some of that could mean for the future is very startling actually.  Hopefully, none of that happens. 

          Overall though the book was pretty good. It explained everything in really clear ways. Plus,  like I said I also learned some interesting stuff and that's why I have to give the book 3 stars!

          That's it for this review. If you have read this book please leave your thoughts in the comments.  I'm not doing a Reading Wrap Up for February because this is the only book I finished reading. I will be back tomorrow with my March TBR. If you like my content please subscribe to my blog. Talk to you all again tomorrow and I hope you all have a good day!
