One need not fully subscribe to Peter Navarro's demonization to appreciate his lucid wake-up call to the imminent dangers of the huge U.S.-China trade imbalance and its disastrous impact on the American economy.

By Ronnie Scheib FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Aug 23, 2012

It is also unabashedly one-sided and is short on solutions, other than the usual "Call your Congressional representatives." But its message, despite the hyperbole, certainly warrants examination and discussion.

By Neil Genzlinger FULL REVIEW

Aug 22, 2012

Much of the argument Navarro assembles in Death by China is unassailable as to its basic facts, even if the tone and manner of presentation leave much to be desired.

By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW

Aug 14, 2012

The bulk of the film contains as much hysterical rhetoric as sober analysis.

Aug 19, 2012

Further confirmation that agitprop documentaries have become wedded to a template that undermines their very arguments.

By Nick Schager FULL REVIEW

Aug 22, 2012

These are all legitimate concerns, which Navarro supports with testimony from economists, politicians, union leaders, and businesspeople, but they're undermined at every point by a sky-is-falling hysteria that registers as white noise. It's the documentary equivalent of a raving street-corner derelict.

By Scott Tobias FULL REVIEW

Aug 23, 2012

The documentary tells us little we don't already know and is overwhelmingly one-sided. It would make a nice TV infomercial, but certainly doesn't deserve a big-screen release.
