A New World Disorder

As the world s second-largest economy, China is extending its influence across the globe with the complicity of democratic nations. Joanna Chiu has spent a decade tracking China s propulsive rise, from the political aspects of its multi-billion-dollar New Silk Road global investment project to its growing sway over foreign countries and multilateral institutions through United Front efforts. For too long, Western societies have mishandled or simply ignored Beijing s actions, out of narrow self-interest. Over time, Chiu argues, decades of wilful misinterpretation have become harmful complicity in the toxic diplomacy, human rights abuses and foreign interference seen from China today.
