This study investigates the investments by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and whether they may be construed as a national security threat to the United States. China has lauded its Made in China (MIC) 2025 plan with an emphasis on becoming the world's superpower. By its entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), and subsequent Most Favored Nation (MFN) status granted by the United States, China has amassed a great deal of wealth, power, and influence around the globe. Through our research we reviewed articles, books, and papers that underscore China's hegemonic plans through acquisitions to support our argument. In the face of China's incursions into economic areas once dominated by the United States, we conclude that China has been successful thus far by its pursuit of strategic economic and infrastructure assets. As America continues to acquiesce, China will supersede the U.S. not only economically but militarily. We provide recommendations that will have immediate impacts and may help to retain America's sovereignty as an autonomous nation.

This report provides a review and analysis of China's investment strategy to utilize every aspect of capital inflows as a weapon to remove and replace the United States as the world's leading superpower. This research contends the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is succeeding in 10 economic sectors, including artificial intelligence that could possibly render the U.S. obsolete. By its entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) and subsequent Most Favored Nation (MFN) status granted by the United States, China has amassed a great deal of wealth, power, and influence around the globe. Moreover, this has emboldened China to not only influence the world but to conduct espionage activities within the United States. From Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to lobbyists, further investigation reveals American decisions assisted with China's ascension. China executes consistent antipathetic behaviors with regard to the national security of the United States. The Chinese Made in China (MIC) 2025 plan is its global plan for economic dominance. This report evaluates the actions, both domestic and foreign, that have allowed China to challenge the United States on the world stage and subvert U.S. economic prowess. According to the 2017 National Security Strategy these actions threaten U.S. interests and the American way of life. This report recommends that we should look inward and change laws and regulations to ensure national secrets remain with the U.S. We should pay attention to where and to whom Chinese FDI flows as an effort to thwart the influence of foreign agents in shaping domestic politics. We should also ask Congress to provide legislation that correctly labels the origin of all imports, including prescription drugs.
