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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \u003ci\u003eBeijing   Rules\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55988542046582,"sku":"9781529367805","price":15.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27549496.jpg?v=1753419498","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529367805-beijing-rules","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
