China Unbound

While the United States stumbles, an award-winning foreign correspondent chronicles Chinas dramatic moves to become a dominant power. As the worlds second-largest economy, China is extending its influence across the globe with the complicity of democratic nations. Joanna Chiu has spent a decade tracking Chinas propulsive rise, from the political aspects of the multi-billion-dollar New Silk Road global investment project to a growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions through United Front efforts. Chiu offers readers background on the protests in Hong Kong, underground churches in Beijing, and exile Uyghur communities in Turkey, and exposes Beijings high-tech surveillance and aggressive measures that result in human rights violations against those who challenge its power. The new world disorder documented in China Unbound lays out the disturbing implications for global stability, prosperity, and civil rights everywhere.
