b"The China Nexus: Thirty Years In and Around the Chinese Communist Party's Tyranny\\xa0(Optimum Publishing, 2022)\\xa0brings together\\xa0Benedict Rogers' 30 years of advocacy, research and work in and around China. Opening with his rollicking adventures as an 18 year old teaching English in Qingdao in 1992,\\xa0the human element of this monograph,\\xa0the real people and their lives are foregrounded. Rogers takes the reader through a nexus of the CCP's tyranny; from China's crackdown on its own citizens; through the repression and violence perpetuated in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong, to the way that the CCP props up and is complicit in crimes against humanity in Myanmar and North Korea. This book is essential to\\xa0understanding both the domestic and global\\xa0ramifications of the threat that the CCP poses to the free world. Rogers\\xa0has been at the heart of advocacy for human rights in and around\\xa0China during this period. His\\xa0on-ground\\xa0insights, countless meetings, interviews\\xa0and direct encounters with those who live through the\\xa0harrowing realities manifested by current CCP ideology,\\xa0should operate as a wake-up to those who value democracy everywhere.\\xa0\\nBenedict Rogers is a human rights activist and writer specialising in Asia. He is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Watch, Senior Analyst for East Asia at CSW, an advisor to the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign and several other charities, and Deputy Chair of the UK Conservative Party Human Rights Commission.\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
