According to a blockbuster new book by Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter, China’s communist government is shipping illegal gun parts to the United States as part of a “war of disintegration” strategy against the United States aimed at tearing the country apart from within. Schweitzer is said to be supplying large quantities.
in Blood Money: Why those in power turn a blind eye while China kills Americans, Schweitzer said Chinese companies, which are highly regulated by the Chinese government, are shipping large numbers of auto-sear switches to the United States, small metal devices also known as “Glock switches” that can convert handguns into machine guns. It was revealed that there was. Although they are illegal for most gun owners in the United States, they are being shipped in boxes from China by the “thousands,” Schweitzer said.
As with fentanyl, the Chinese government is sending auto-sear switches to wreak havoc and death in the United States as part of its “disintegration warfare” strategy, Schweitzer said.
The “war of disintegration” strategy, Schweitzer wrote, “focuses on going after America’s ‘weaker players’, in the words of Chinese leaders, politically, economically, and nationally and psychologically.” ing. [its] people. ” It is based on the teachings of the ancient Chinese strategist and general Sun Tzu on how to win wars without fighting. This strategy undermines the “national will, values, and unity” of an adversary. The purpose is to
in blood moneyUsing leaked U.S. federal law enforcement documents, Schweizer reveals how China is equipping felons and criminal organizations across the United States with these auto-sear switches. .
The device is about the size of a penny and began arriving in the United States in large numbers in 2018. These devices are illegal in the United States except for use by law enforcement officers and some people who require a federal permit. Extensive criminal background check. Therefore, U.S. criminals are buying them illegally from China through English-Chinese websites targeting Americans, Schweitzer wrote.
Accordingly, between 2019 and 2021, incidents involving machine gun fire increased by 4,200 percent in 130 American cities, Schweitzer revealed. While some illegal autoswitches are made with 3D printers in the United States, the “vast majority on the streets” are made in China and are of much higher quality than those made with 3D printers, Schweitzer said. is writing.

As U.S. law enforcement gets better at identifying these switches coming from China, Chinese producers are switching tactics, shipping them to Mexico or smuggling them across the border into the United States. They end up becoming captives of gangsters, felons, and criminals. And drug dealers. And Mexican drug cartels have also begun manufacturing their own devices, using machinery provided by Chinese companies, Schweitzer said. he writes:
This is strikingly similar to the Chinese government’s strategy regarding fentanyl. When U.S. authorities began interdicting shipments sent by mail and packages from China, Chinese distributors switched to Mexican overpasses to continue supplying these devices to U.S. criminals. In an internal memo obtained by the author, the Department of Homeland Security warns that this represents “saturation of deliveries across the United States,” with maps showing deliveries in major cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, and Miami. It has been shown that they are concentrated in cities. Washington, New York, Philadelphia.
Unsurprisingly, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the number of switches seized by law enforcement officers investigating crimes increased by “570 between 2017 and 2021, compared to the previous five years.” %” showed a surprising increase (ATF).

Schweitzer writes:
In the first quarter of 2023 alone, authorities seized 106 illegal suppressors at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport alone. In December 2022, U.S. authorities in Michigan indicted seven men for procuring switches from China. “These devices pose new threats to our communities, children, law enforcement officers, and anyone who gets in the way of indiscriminate spraying,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. In 2022, the ATF has announced a 500 percent increase in auto sear switch seizures nationwide. Cities such as St. Louis continued to become war zones. In 2021, ATF reported 66 fully automatic shooting incidents.The following year, there
Well over a third of those cases occurred in St. Louis County.
Schweitzer said Chinese companies also import firearm suppression devices, also known as “silencers,” into the United States.
He details how a “massive influx” of illegal suppressants began being shipped from China to the United States in early 2019. he writes:
As with firearms, felons cannot legally own firearms. However, clandestine imports of these Chinese-made inhibitors have allowed U.S. criminal organizations and drug cartels to circumvent these requirements and purchase large quantities. And over the next three years, federal authorities tracked down his astonishing 42,888 oppressors who arrived from China. They only tracked those devices. How many more people could have passed?
The suppressor was also sold on an English-language website hosted on a server in China and was incorrectly labeled when shipped to the United States.

Schweitzer, director of the Government Accountability Institute, wrote that American politicians are doing little to combat these practices.
“No U.S. president appears to have raised this issue with the Chinese government in discussions with President Xi,” he wrote. “President Biden has called for gun control for ordinary Americans, but he has never publicly discussed the issue where criminal elements have access to machine guns thanks to illegal shipments from Chinese manufacturers.”
Schweitzer said members of Congress have also been silent. Kentucky is home to two of the nation’s top business cargo airports, where a lot of equipment is transported, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said, “We have remained silent on this issue.” ” he wrote. “He should be expected to hold China accountable, expose and condemn its actions, and so far he has done none of that.”

Schweitzer also said that when Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota) and Cory Booker (New Jersey) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2021 expressing concerns about the switch, suppliers Although he touched on China’s role as a government, he also noted that he did not call for any action against the Chinese government. response. Similarly, the 11 senators who introduced legislation to tighten Switch ownership restrictions did not propose any action against China.
Schweitzer argues that American politicians are pursuing regulation of American gun manufacturers, but they are failing to hold China accountable. “Rather than cracking down on Chinese companies that cater to and weaponize American criminal organizations, U.S. political leaders would go after American firearms manufacturers that make legitimate products for millions of Americans. “We are focused on doing things,” he wrote.
Similar to the drug war, Schweitzer said China is in the midst of a “century of humiliation” in the United States that blames the West for sowing the seeds of division in China in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He concluded that he was trying to incite a civil war.
“Just as it upended the 19th century’s Opium Wars and created the 21st century’s Fentanyl Wars, the Chinese government is now ushering in a century of humiliation by deploying weapon-enhancing technology and fostering division, forcing the U.S. “It has not only fallen into the hands of felons and criminal organizations who are working to undermine it,” Schweitzer wrote, “but it has also fueled social division on America’s streets.”
Blood money: Why are those in power turning a blind eye while China is killing Americans? is scheduled to be published on February 27th.
