Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#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.
