"Tibet watchers know him as one of the most incisive
and prolific commentators on the political scene, a writer with
strong opinions but also the wide reading and intellectual depth
to back them up, sometimes fiercely."
International Herald Tribune
A lucid and powerful expos of the real — not CNN's or Fox's
— China, featuring up-to-date reports on the PRC's
ongoing crimes against humanity: forced labor (laogai)
camps, harvesting of transplant organs of executed prisoners,
forced abortions, repression of all religions, cultural genocide
in Tibet, military crackdown in East Turkestan and more.
The book also introduces some lesser-known but worrying developments
as Internet censorship (the world's tightest) and the truly disturbing
psychiatric persecution of political prisoners. A section detailing
the conditions of China's disenfranchised, exploited and oppressed
workers and peasants bolsters the book's underlying argument that
people of conscience must boycott "Made in China" products.
This case is further advanced by the concluding analysis that
labor and industry worldwide have been undermined, hi-tech compromised
and fundamental human freedoms eroded by the relentless flood
of dirt-cheap Chinese products.
A chilling disclosure of China's secret contributions to Iraq,
Libya, North Korea and Pakistan's nuclear programs rounds of this
disturbing but important book. A cautionary piece of reading that
should make anyone pause when reaching for a "Made in China"
product on a Walmart shelf.
