'Allen has shown remarkable courage in writing this . . . A
disturbing, insightful book about China's hidden, multitiered
war-and how the West can fight back' Kirkus Reviews The remarkable
story of China's two-decade quest for global dominance. For several
decades China's ascendancy has been supported by an astonishingly
broad and deep portfolio of quiet coercion. Stories of the Chinese
Communist Party's authoritarian reach are breathtaking - the
gagging of sports stars and huge Western brands; Hollywood
self-censorship; infrastructure deals in exchange for political
loyalty in multilateral organizations; and of course -
communications firms. But these are just the most visible examples.
Beijing Rules exposes the armoury of strategies with which China
has exploited Western weakness to position itself as leader in the
game of nations: tying market access to political acquiescence;
punitive tariffs; online disinformation operations; use of private
companies to spy on global users; leveraging vaccines for
geopolitical gain; and the crushing of democracy in Hong Kong. With
these weapons and dextrous manoeuvrings during the global pandemic,
China positioned itself to take its place at the apex of world
powers. Bethany Allen, an internationally recognized investigator
into China's covert power, shows Western institutions have bowed to
and even enabled Beijing's coercion. As we come reeling out of a
global pandemic and eyes are on a new war in Europe, this revealing
analysis sounds the alarm about the most significant shift in the
new world order, and what we must do to prevent the loss of
freedoms we take for granted.
