The coronavirus pandemic marked the first time that the Party deployed its tool kit of economic coercion on an issue directly related to the health and well - being of quite literally every person in the world. But Western democracies aren t helpless victims in Beijing's game. The West created the conditions for the rise of authoritarian capitalism by divorcing political values from market structures. Written by one of the first American journalists to expose China's covert influence operations in the United States Beijing Rules includes headline - making stories of Western institutions bowing to Beijing's pressure a glimpse of what America's future may 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.
