Media and Truth
Why does global media feel a need to denigrate China? Why does discussion and analysis fall back on obvious tropes and polemics, when in reality China is raising living standards, developing its economy and introducing human rights. In this book, Maxime Vivas draws a picture of China from the perspective of the French media and France's political class. He will also explore the ramifi cations of journalists who dare to stand out from the anti-China movement
Not so zen
A Nobel Peace Prize winner who embodies the martyrdom of Tibet, beneath the Chinese yoke. The very image of wisdom, who brings people together all over the world. Sacred and adored—who would dare question this living god who claims to carry within himself the hope of freedom for an entire people? Maxime Vivas dares to attack the myth. What if the Dalai Lama was nothing more than a theocrat, who fills the coffers of his palaces with gold while the Tibetans are mere slaves who are denied even an education? What if he is the good opportunist who is sometimes a friend, sometimes an enemy of the Chinese? What if he was puppet of the Americans and the CIA, rather than an advocate for the Tibetan...
Behind the Smile
A stunning indictment of the fourteenth Dalai Lama and his decades-long public relations war with China.
The Hidden Face of Dalai Lama
Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Dalai Lama embodies the martyrdom of a Tibet subjected to Chinese rule. A symbol of wisdom, it is adored and even sacred in the West. Therefore, who would question this living god who claims to carry with him the hope of freedom of an entire people? Maxime Vivas dares to tackle the myth: what if the Dalai Lama was a theocrat who filled the coffers of his palaces with gold while the Tibetans were only serfs who were denied any education? What if he played into the hands of the Americans and the CIA more than that of the Tibetans he claims to defend? What if he had been aware for many years of the sexual assaults, rapes and acts of pedophilia, which were recently revealed in his religious movement? Based on the words of the Dalai Lama, on the testimonies of proselytes as well as on confidential documents, the author paints a vitriolic portrait of "His Holiness" and shows us that everything is not so zen in the kingdom of Buddha. Maxime Vivas, former literary referent for ATTAC, is a novelist (Roger Vailland Prize 1997) and essayist. It is translated into thirteen languages

China the Super Predator
China is facing tremendous economic, social and political challenges, as well as having become a predominant contributor to climate change. It has also become a predator against the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, and the Mongols, and taken over Hong Kong, silencing any forms of dissent. It increasingly appears that one of the Communist regime's main goals is to control the entire world, but this global ambition now faces mounting geopolitical difficulties. At the center stands Taiwan, which has become a full-blown democracy and, perhaps, a model for the entire Chinese nation. The United States - along with Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, and other states - are, more than ever before, willing to defend Taiwan. The possibility of a clash is real, making China along with Russia the main threat to the democratic world.
