Hidden Hand
The Chinese Communist Party is determined to reshape the world in its image. The party is not interested in democracy. It sees only a bitter ideological struggle with the West, dividing the world into those who can be won over, and enemies. Many political and business elites have already been lured to their corner; others are weighing up a devil’s bargain. Through its enormous economic power and covert influence operations, China is now weakening global institutions, aggressively targeting individual corporations, and threatening freedom of expression from the arts to academia. At the same time, Western security services are increasingly worried about incursions into our communications infrastructure. In a landmark study combining meticulous research with unique insights, Hidden Hand exposes the Chinese Communist Party’s global program of subversion, and the threat it poses to democracy. We have already missed too many warning signs – now it is time to wake up.
Summary of Clive Hamilton & Mareike Ohlberg's Hidden Hand
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party affects the right of all to live without fear. As Beijing is emboldened by the feebleness of resistance, its tactics of coercion and intimidation are being used against an increasingly broad spectrum of people. #2 The distinction between the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese people is important to understand that the contest between China and the West is not a clash of civilizations, as has been claimed, but between the repressive values and practices of the CCP and the freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #3 Many people in the West downplay or deny the threat posed by the CCP, because they are financially interested in having a good relationship with China. They also forget how totalitarianism can overpower human rights. #4 The Chinese Communist Party is determined to transform the international order, and it has been eroding resistance to it from within by winning supporters, silencing critics, and subverting institutions.
How China Loses
Tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs
The Strategy of Denial
Why and how America’s defense strategy must change in light of China’s power and ambition Elbridge A. Colby was the lead architect of the 2018 National Defense Strategy, the most significant revision of U.S. defense strategy in a generation. Here he lays out how America’s defense must change to address China’s growing power and ambition. Based firmly in the realist tradition but deeply engaged in current policy, this book offers a clear framework for what America’s goals in confronting China must be, how its military strategy must change, and how it must prioritize these goals over its lesser interests. The most informed and in-depth reappraisal of America’s defense strategy in decades, this book outlines a rigorous but practical approach, showing how the United States can prepare to win a war with China that we cannot afford to lose—precisely in order to deter that war from happening.
Silent Invasion
In 2008 Clive Hamilton was at Parliament House in Canberra when the Beijing Olympic torch relay passed through. He watched in bewilderment as a small pro-Tibet protest was overrun by thousands of angry Chinese students. Where did they come from? Why were they so aggressive? And what gave them the right to shut down others exercising their democratic right to protest? The authorities did nothing about it, and what he saw stayed with him. In 2016 it was revealed that wealthy Chinese businessmen linked to the Chinese Communist Party had become the largest donors to both major political parties. Hamilton realised something big was happening, and decided to investigate the Chinese government’s ...
Authoritarian Advance
China’s rapidly increasing political influencing efforts in Europe and the self-confident promotion of its authoritarian ideals pose a significant challenge to liberal democracy as well as Europe’s values and interests. While Beijing’s efforts have received much less scrutiny than the efforts of Putin’s Russia, Europe neglects China’s increasing influence at its own peril. Drawing on its economic strength and a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) apparatus that is geared towards strategically building stocks of influence across the globe, Beijing’s political influencing efforts in Europe are bound to be much more consequential in the medium- to long-term future than those of the Kremlin. China commands a comprehensive and flexible influencing toolset, ranging from the overt to the covert, primarily deployed across three arenas: political and economic elites, media and public opinion, and civil society and academia. In expanding its political influence, China takes advantage of the one-sided openness of Europe. Europe’s gates are wide open whereas China seeks to tightly restrict access of foreign ideas, actors and capital.

Political Front Lines
Over the past five years, China's overseas political influence activities have drawn increasing scrutiny in Western democracies in Oceania, North America, and Europe. This collective knowledge production has also allowed greater public awareness on what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) calls "united front work," including its tactics, targets, objectives, proxies, and supporting bureaucracies. However, compared with the growing body of literature that is available on Chinese united front activities in advanced liberal democracies, very little attention has been devoted so far to understanding whether and how this sophisticated and sprawling system is deployed in the developing world. This report strives to fill this gap, by focusing specifically on China's influence efforts in Africa.
Die lautlose Eroberung
Gefährlicher Rivale statt unverzichtbarer Partner: Mit welchen Strategien China die Welt erobert Chinas Aufstieg zur Weltmacht ist unaufhaltsam. Lange erwartete man, dass sich das Land mit zunehmendem Wohlstand demokratisieren würde. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas will sich mit allen Mitteln an der Macht halten. Dafür werden Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft im eigenen Land auf Linie gebracht und ein weitreichendes Programm wurde entwickelt, mit dem China die westlichen Demokratien unterwandert und eine neue Weltordnung etablieren will. Dabei setzt es nicht nur seine Wirtschaftsmacht als Waffe ein, sondern die gesamte Bandbreite seiner Politik. Wie vielfältig der chinesische Einfluss auch bei uns bereits ist, enthüllen die beiden Autoren an zahlreichen Beispielen – ein Anstoß zu einer dringend notwendigen Debatte: Wie soll Deutschland, wie Europa mit der neuen Weltmacht China umgehen? Mit einem aktuellen Vorwort der Autoren.
