Disengagement: Moving Beyond Reactionary China Policy to a Better World

by Evan R. Anderson (Author), Mark Anderson (Foreword)

—-

For those who have questioned the wisdom of doing extensive business with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Disengagement offers a succinct description of the perils that lie beneath the surface. From the hybrid and greyzone warfare that define the People’s Republic of China as a geopolitical entity to the unprecedented health, environmental, and human-rights catastrophes caused by the CCP, Evan Anderson highlights the many malign activities of Xi Jinping’s government. As a result, we land at the ultimate question: “Who benefits from engagement with China?” Disengagement argues that, outside of the Chinese mainland, no one does.

Anyone interested in why and how to slow China’s steady march toward further economic and political aggression, climate disaster, and outright war will find in these pages a consistent thread of research and analysis toward that end. At a time when the CRINK (China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea) alliance has become increasingly aggressive across all fronts, Disengagement offers a better path than the one that got us here.
