Beijing Rules

In Beijing Rules, acclaimed journalist Bethany Allen explores China's two-decade pursuit of global dominance and the Communist Party's strategic use of capitalism as a tool for expanding its influence. Highlighting cases where Western companies and governments have succumbed to Beijing's pressure, Allen argues that the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic showcased the Party's economic coercion on a global scale. Through rigorous investigative reporting, she warns of the rising threat of authoritarian capitalism and emphasizes the crucial need for Western democracies to reclaim their political values.
