More than one million Chinese with US citizenship who grew up in communist China will soon start voting in US elections, #1 new York Times As bestselling investigative journalist and senior Breitbart News contributor Peter Schweizer 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 have exploited America’s birthright citizenship policies by engaging in a practice known as birth tourism, whereby Chinese mothers deliberately travel to the United States and give birth on American soil so that their newborn children can be automatically granted American citizenship.
One of the biggest appeals of birth tourism is the chain migration it triggers. “When such children turn twenty-one, they can also apply for resident status for both of their parents,” explains Schweizer. To demonstrate the extent of the practice, he uses Saipan, the US territory in the Pacific, as an example, writing that “[m]More than 70 percent of newborns in Saipan are PRC-born tourist parents who use the territory’s forty-five-day visa-free visitation rules and the ‘Treaty of the Northern Mariana Islands’ to guarantee that their children will have U.S. citizenship.”
Since the US federal government does not directly track birth tourism, no one knows the true extent of the practice, Schweizer writes:
Chinese officials estimate the number to be a staggering fifty thousand of their own citizens per year. Scholars who have studied the subject in depth, such as Australian-based Professor Salvator Babones, have put the figure even higher, perhaps twice as high. “With 100,000 Chinese babies born U.S. citizens each year,” he writes, “birth tourism could result in the creation of millions of new elite Chinese-Americans.”
Some researchers estimate this number to be higher still. Media Research, a Chinese data analysis company, says 150,000 people came to the United States from China to practice birth tourism in 2018 alone.
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 possibly as many as 1.5 million Chinese, who are also U.S. citizens by virtue of being born here, now growing to adulthood in China.”

This Chinese birth tourism presents a unique challenge to the United States because, Schweizer writes, “perhaps more than a million Chinese citizens have become American citizens by virtue of being born here, but they have no memories of or allegiance to our country”:
[T]Often these are the children of elite people who have prospered under the communist Chinese system. They have been properly educated in CCP-controlled schools and taught about American values, culture, or history from a distorted CCP perspective. Technically, as US citizens, they are eligible to vote in US elections and can move to the United States at any time. When they turn twenty-one, they can also sponsor their parents to come here as permanent residents. Based on the little data we have about birth tourism from China to the US, this tidal wave could impact American society starting in 2030, when the first baby wave reaches the age of eighteen.
The problem of birth tourism emerged on a large scale during the Obama administration. Schweizer explains that “the Obama administration encouraged this practice,” which soon grew to an industrial scale:
Particularly in China, birth tourism is highly organized, supported by the Chinese Communist Party, and perhaps represents a covert method of involving millions of “citizens” in the US… [M]All of the parents involved are pillars of the Chinese elite: CCP members, senior officials of intelligence agencies, and government ministers. This practice targets a vulnerability in US immigration law, suggesting that China’s malicious intent is to wage a civilizational war through destructive immigration.
Another form of American birthright citizenship that is being used by Chinese citizens is “the widespread use of surrogate mothers to carry the children of senior CCP officials to the United States,” Schweizer writes. “These officials collect the children at birth and bring them back to China to grow up.”
One such senior Chinese Communist Party official is Guojun Xuan, who Schweizer says has purchased more than $100 million of real estate in California and has an interest in “having children through surrogacy with women across the United States.” Schweizer Description:
In May 2025, when a two-month-old infant in his care was hospitalized with head injuries, authorities found fifteen children, ranging in age from two months to thirteen years, living in his $4.1 million Arcadia, California mansion. In total, they found twenty-one children associated with the CCP member.
Xuan arranged for the births of his children through mothers spread throughout the United States. The contracts were made through his Mark Surrogacy Investments LLC, which operated as a multistate embryo pipeline. Surrogates were often unaware that other people were having children for the same couple at the same time. Neighbors saw pregnant women coming and going from the house, which functioned more like a surrogacy command center than a traditional home.
Schweizer writes, “Xuan” is the tip of a much larger iceberg of children of Chinese parents being born through surrogacy with an American woman and thus becoming American citizens who will join the legacy of others born here through birth tourism. “California records show there are 107 companies with the word surrogacy in the state that are owned by Chinese individuals.”
