Omschrijving

'An eye-opening global tour of the growing influence of the new superpower. A fascinating, illuminating book.'

'An eye-opening global tour of the growing influence of the new superpower. A fascinating, illuminating book.'

'Provides a powerful, heartfelt account of Chinese immigrants and their fraught encounters with Beijing’s United Front Work Department … Chiu tells gripping stories of influence operations in such disparate places as Australia, Canada, the US, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Russia.'

'In a world characterised by information overload and the manipulation and outright fabrication of 'truth' by the state, it is very easy to lose sight of the facts. Chiu's contribution is therefore twofold: it serves as an accurate historical record while also starting a thought-provoking discussion amongst scholars and possibly policymakers on less explored subjects.'

'A devastating analysis of the Chinese police state gone global. "China Unbound" is essential to understanding the fragility of peace in the twenty-first century.'

'In this thought-provoking book, journalist Joanna Chiu argues persuasively that the United States, Canada, and other democracies -- whether out of economic self-interest or sheer ineptitude -- have enabled Beijing's efforts to expand its influence around the world. A sweeping, timely, and nuanced read for anyone who cares about the global rise of authoritarianism.'

'A vivid, perspicacious, and ultimately disillusioned book about the current direction of China that explores a rising China's fitful relations with a wide range of countries, and reveals what's left of its domestic reforms as being driven by an obsession with ever greater control. "China Unbound" delivers urgent and much-needed caution against xenophobia toward Chinese people at a time of growing tensions with a new superpower.'

'A timely and fascinating book looking at China's rise and the impacts on the current global order. A much-needed account at a time of fast geopolitical change, with smart analysis and engaging writing.'

'By taking the China story global, Chiu shows how an increasingly powerful China is challenging not only our economies, but our institutions, our principles, and our communities. Reporting from the frontlines of China's influence, from Australia, Canada, and the US to Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Russia, Chiu reveals embattled diasporas and critics under pressure as hypocrisy runs rampant in business and government, and a new world order begins to form. A vital, illuminating read.'

'Drawing on a decade of professional experience, Joanna Chiu offers a passionate and powerful account of the challenges we face in dealing with China today -- challenges rooted in the West as much as those born in Beijing. A critical voice we need to hear.'
