More than a million Chinese citizens with American citizenship who grew up in communist China will soon start voting in American elections, #1 New York Times Peter Schweizer, bestselling investigative journalist and senior contributor to Breitbart News, reveals in his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.
In his explosive new book, Schweizer details how Chinese elites exploited U.S. birthright citizenship policies by engaging in a practice known as birth tourism, whereby Chinese mothers intentionally traveling to the United States give birth on U.S. soil so that their newborns automatically gain U.S. citizenship.
One of the biggest attractions of birth tourism is the chain migration it triggers. “When these children reach the age of twenty-one, they can also apply for residency status for both parents,” says Schweizer. To demonstrate the extent of this practice, he uses the US territory of Saipan in the Pacific as an example, writing that “(more) than 70 percent of newborns on Saipan are parents of biological tourists from the PRC who use the territory’s forty-five-day visa-free visit rules and the ‘Northern Mariana Islands Compact’ to ensure that their children will have US citizenship.” »
Because the U.S. federal government does not directly track birth tourism, no one knows the true extent of the practice, Schweizer writes:
Chinese authorities estimate that this number rises to fifty thousand citizens per year. Researchers who have studied the subject in depth, such as Australian professor Salvator Babones, estimate this figure even higher, perhaps double. “With as many as 100,000 Chinese babies born as American citizens each year,” he writes, “birth tourism could give birth to millions of new Chinese-American elites.”
Some researchers place this figure even higher. Media Research, a Chinese data analytics company, says that in 2018 alone, 150,000 people came to the United States from China to engage in birth tourism.
According to Schweizer, the practice of Chinese birth tourism in the United States has flourished over the past 15 years, with “at least 750,000 and perhaps as many as 1.5 million Chinese, who are also U.S. citizens by virtue of being born here, now coming of age in China.”
This Chinese birth tourism represents a unique challenge for the United States because, Schweizer writes, “perhaps more than a million Chinese nationals have become American citizens by virtue of being born here, but have no memories or allegiance to our country”:
(They) are often the children of elites who thrived in China’s communist system. They were properly indoctrinated in CCP-controlled schools and taught US values, culture, or history from a distorted CCP perspective. Technically, as US citizens, they have the right to vote in US elections and can move to the US at any time. When they reach the age of twenty-one, they can sponsor their parents to come here as permanent residents as well. Based on what little data we have on birth tourism between China and the United States, this tidal wave could hit American society starting in 2030, when the first wave of babies turns eighteen.
The problem of birth tourism emerged as a large-scale practice during the Obama administration. Schweizer explains that “the Obama administration encouraged this practice,” which quickly grew on an industrial scale:
In China in particular, birth tourism is highly organized, supported by the Chinese Communist Party, and perhaps represents a covert method for injecting millions of “citizens” into America… (Most of the parents involved are pillars of the Chinese elite: members of the CCP, senior intelligence agency officials, and government ministers.) This practice targets a vulnerability in U.S. immigration law, suggesting that China’s malicious intent is civilizational warfare through subversive immigration.
Another form of legal U.S. citizenship used by Chinese nationals is “the widespread use of surrogate mothers in the United States to bear the children of high-ranking CCP officials,” Schweizer writes. “These officials then collect the children at birth and raise them in China. »
One such high-ranking Chinese Communist Party official is Guojun Xuan, who Schweizer says has purchased more than $100 million worth of real estate in California and has an interest in “producing children through surrogacy with women across the United States.” Swiss details:
In May 2025, when a two-month-old infant in his care was hospitalized with head injuries, authorities found fifteen children living in his $4.1 million Arcadia, California mansion, ranging in age from two months to thirteen years. In total, they found twenty-one children related to the CCP member.
Xuan arranged the births of her children through mothers spread across the United States. The deals were made through his company Mark Surrogacy Investment LLC, which served as a multi-state embryo pipeline. Surrogate mothers were often unaware that others were carrying children for the same couple at the same time. Neighbors saw pregnant women coming and going from the house, which appeared to function more like a surrogacy command center than a traditional home.
Xuan is just “the tip of a very large iceberg of children born to Chinese parents through surrogacy with an American woman and thus to American citizens who will join the legions of others born here via birth tourism,” Schweizer writes. “California records indicate there are 107 companies in the state with the word surrogacy in their name, all owned by Chinese individuals.”
