As Bethany Allen, the China reporter for Axios, reveals, the long-standing belief that free-trade capitalism is a democratizing force--the assumption underlying much of American and Western policy since World War II--is demonstrably false. Capitalism is actually a two-way street: if democratic values can travel in one direction, authoritarianism can travel in the other. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has successfully engineered what Cold War champions believed to be impossible: an unabashedly Communist Party leading a prosperous capitalist state. Written by the first American journalist to expose covert Chinese influence operations in the United States, Beijing Rules includes headline-making stories of western institutions bowing to Beijing's coercion--a glimpse of what American's future might 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. 541 $d 20230810. 650 $a Capitalism. 651 1 $a China $x Economic policy $y 1949- 651 1 $a China $x Foreign relations. 651 7 $a China $x Foreign economic relations. 651 $a Geopolitics. 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716062429.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011859.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043814.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011111.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240104011738.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231102012642.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230915010118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3170CD74538D11EE852D3C9B35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
