Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A century of power. A century of blood. A century without accountability.For over one hundred years, the Chinese Communist Party has ruled through force, deception, and engineered amnesia. The Case Against the Chinese Communist Party is a forensic chronicle of that rule - a meticulously researched record of the Party's major atrocities from its founding in 1921 to the present day.Structured as a case file rather than a political tract, the book isolates each campaign or incident, records its method, toll, and perpetrators, and traces the pattern forward in time. From the Futian Incident's first mass purge of fellow Communists, to the Great Leap Forward famine that killed tens of millions, to the Cultural Revolution's destruction of lives and heritage, to modern-day detention camps in Xinjiang and the dismantling of Hong Kong's autonomy, the through-line is clear: repression is not an accident of CCP rule, but its foundation.Drawing on internal Party records, survivor testimony, leaked documents, and independent scholarship, the narrative avoids exaggeration and ideology, focusing instead on verifiable evidence. Where sources are contested, the disputes are noted; where estimates vary, ranges are given.This is a book for researchers, journalists, policy-makers, educators, and citizens who refuse to let the victims vanish twice - once from life, and again from memory. It documents not only what the CCP has done to its declared enemies, but also what it has done to its own members in the name of "unity" and "rectification."More than history, it is an act against forgetting - and a call to keep the record alive.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Secrets, Spies, and the Global War for TruthWhat happens when a Chinese tycoon turns against the system that made him?When Guo Wengui fled Beijing for a Manhattan penthouse, he carried more than billions. He carried secrets-about China's elite, their offshore fortunes, their hidden lovers, and the machinery of fear that holds it all together.From the start, Guo was both whistleblower and showman. His livestreams drew millions, naming China's most powerful men and promising revelations that could topple an empire. He launched new movements, new coins, and new conspiracies-while Beijing denounced him as a criminal and U.S. prosecutors built a fraud case that would eventually send him to prison.Was he a truth-teller, a con man, or something in between? This book follows the full arc: from his rise inside China's secret patronage networks, to his dramatic exile in New York, to his alliance with Steve Bannon and the launch of the "New Federal State of China." It traces how his followers waved flags at Trump rallies, how Chinese state media gloated at his conviction, and how American courts seized his yachts and penthouses to repay betrayed investors.But the deeper story isn't only about Guo. It is about what his saga revealed: The fragility of secrecy. Guo thrived because both Beijing and Washington left gaps wide open. When truth is hidden, conspiracy fills the void.The business of outrage. Guo turned anger into an economy-livestreams into donations, coins into loyalty, spectacle into a business model.The speed gap. While regulators and courts moved slowly, Guo and his allies pumped out daily disinformation in real time. Democracies struggled to keep up.The mirror effect. Guo exposed not just China's vulnerabilities but America's own: distrust of institutions, hunger for scandal, and a media system addicted to drama.Drawing on court filings, investigative reporting, victim testimony, and disinformation research, The Billionaire Who Knew Too Much reconstructs the most improbable exile story of our age. It shows how a man who fled Beijing's machine ended up replicating it in miniature, building a shadow network of lawyers, lobbyists, and loyalists in the heart of Manhattan.Guo was fraud and fighter both. He revealed Beijing's black box-and exploited America's blind spots. He cracked open truths that both sides wanted buried, then drowned them in spectacle. His fall became Beijing's propaganda victory, his movement fractured, and his victims waited for restitution that never came. Yet his legacy endures as warning: in an era of information war, the line between truth and conspiracy is not erased-it is weaponized.If you want to understand how authoritarian power reaches across borders, how conspiracies metastasize in democracies, and how one man's contradictions became a global mirror, this book is essential reading.In the end, Guo Wengui will not be remembered as a hero. He will be remembered as the billionaire who knew too much-and made the whole world see what it wanted to ignore. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Xi Jinping: A Chronicle of Rise, Control, and Decline" offers a detailed, year-by-year exploration of Xi Jinping's life and his rise to become China's paramount leader. From his privileged birth into the Communist elite to his current status as one of the world's most powerful figures, this book chronicles Xi's ascent, the policies he has implemented, and the far-reaching effects of his leadership on both China's domestic trajectory and its role on the global stage.This book is structured chronologically, tracing Xi's life from his birth in 1953, when China was in the midst of intense political transformation, to his consolidation of power in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It explores his early struggles during the Cultural Revolution, the political fall of his father, and his later rise through the Party ranks, as well as his eventual ascension to General Secretary in 2012. Each year is examined, providing insights into Xi's personal milestones and the key historical events shaping his path.Key Themes Explored: Xi's Authoritarian Rule: The book examines how Xi consolidated power, breaking away from the collective leadership model of his predecessors. His control over all aspects of Chinese society, including media, education, and the economy, reflects his drive to suppress dissent and centralize authority.Economic Reforms and Failures: From early economic liberalization to his more recent push for self-reliance, the book analyzes how Xi's policies shaped China's economy-both positively and negatively. The contradictions within his reforms are explored, including the tension between state control and market forces, leading to both economic growth and social unrest.Foreign Policy and Global Ambitions: Through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), military modernization, and efforts to challenge U.S. dominance, Xi has reshaped China's global relations. The book looks at how Xi's aggressive foreign policy has led to greater isolation and rising tensions with the West.The Future of China Under Xi: The book concludes with a speculative look at the future of Xi's leadership. Will his authoritarian model lead to sustained political stability, or will it result in the collapse of his regime? It explores possible internal challenges, social unrest, and the future of China's global influence.Why This Book Matters: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Xi Jinping's leadership, offering insights into his rise to power and the policies that have shaped modern China. It explores both the achievements and failures of his rule and considers the long-term consequences of his leadership for China and the world. With a chronological structure, this book provides critical analysis for readers seeking to understand China's current trajectory and the global shifts shaped by Xi's policies.For anyone interested in modern China, Xi Jinping's leadership, and the geopolitical dynamics of the 21st century, this book is essential reading.
