The coronavirus pandemic marked the first time that the Party deployed its tool kit of economic coercion on an issue directly related to the health and well-being of quite literally every person in the world. But Western democracies aren't helpless victims in Beijing's game. The West created the conditions for the rise of authoritarian capitalism by divorcing political values from market structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by one of the first American journalists to expose China's covert influence operations in the United States, Beijing Rules includes headline-making stories of Western institutions bowing to Beijing's pressure--a glimpse of what America's future may look like should liberal democracy come firmly under the thumb of authoritarian capitalism. Grounded in deep investigative reporting, it sounds the alarm about what we must do to prevent the loss of freedoms we now take for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on years of on-the-ground reporting, this book uncovers the playbook of China's economic statecraft: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthoritarian Economic Statecraft: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the methods the Chinese Communist Party uses to tie corporate profits to political acquiescence, forcing Western companies and governments to play by Beijing's rules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSharp Power and Subnational Engagement: \u003c\/b\u003e Go inside the CCP's secret efforts to shape American politics, from city halls to Capitol Hill, through spies, sister cities, and covert networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSupply Chain Weaponization: \u003c\/b\u003e Uncover how the global rush for masks and PPE during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the national security risks of dependency on China's manufacturing base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDisinformation Campaigns: \u003c\/b\u003e Learn how Beijing adopted Russia's playbook to spread conspiracy theories about the coronavirus, discredit Western vaccines, and control the global narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Playbook for Democracies: \u003c\/b\u003e Explore what the U.S. and its allies must do to build a democratic economic statecraft and push back against China's global strategy for illiberalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.1 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53489542529331,"sku":"9780063057418","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hzLVgU9Eli9780063057418.webp?v=1781525906","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/beijing-rules-how-china-weaponized-its-economy-to-confront-the-world-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
