The China Nexus: Thirty Years in and Around the Chinese Communist Party's Tyranny
Autor Benedict Rogers Cuvânt înainte de Lord David Alton Prefață de Nathan Lawen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2022
This book tells the story of his fight for freedom for the peoples of China and neighbouring countries Myanmar and North Korea and sets out how a global movement for human rights in China is emerging and what the free world should do next. It describes the importance of the "China Nexus" in the author's journey and geopolitics and its challenges. Pioneering international inquiries into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, the genocide of the Uyghurs and global action for Hong Kong, as well as highlighting the Vatican's silence, the author has been at the heart of advocacy for human rights in China in recent years.
In 2017, on the orders of Beijing, he was denied entry to Hong Kong, 20 years after he had moved to the city and began his working life as a journalist and activist. Benedict Rogers co-founded Hong Kong Watch and worked with a variety of other international groups at the forefront of the fight for freedom, including the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance for China (IPAC), the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign, the China Democracy Foundation, the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission which he co-founded, and the international human rights organization CSW with which he has worked for over 25 years.
This book hits the Chinese Communist Party hard on their lack of Human Rights efficacy, genocide, and despicable and barbaric organ harvesting programs (an estimated $1 billion US a year business).
Rogers takes the readers on a journey through some of the leaders and participants in the Human rights activities that China has suppressed since its inception in 1949. He goes on to dispute and lays to rest all of the specious claims by the tyrants in Beijing that all Chinese citizens are equal and are afforded human and civil rights. Currently, the regime is engaged in re-education, cultural assimilation, and multiple genocides, leading to better citizens for China and the world if one believes Chinese officials.
China's ambassador to Canada says reports of genocide and forced labour of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province are the "lie of the century," despite international bodies like the United Nations deeming the reports of such activities "numerous and credible."
The author will completely dispel that notion.

“The Chinese Communist Party has a formidable foe in Benedict Rogers, just as the Chinese people have no better friend. His heartfelt, deeply researched, and powerfully argued book should be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the threat we face—and what we must do to protect ourselves.”
“I know Benedict Rogers and hold in high regard his work to help protect the people of Hong Kong from tyranny and the loss of their traditional freedom. His book also covers the plight of the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, and others who are being persecuted at this very moment. I hope his book will be read by all who yearn for freedom and the rule of law in China, and who wish to understand what has happened and is hap-pening in that country today.”
praise for THE CHINA NEXUS“The China Nexus is one of those rare books that very clearly records the political envi-ronment in China over the past thirty years. Benedict Rogers, from the perspective of a Westerner and in a very detailed manner, documents this authoritarian country’s political orientation and agendas through his personal experience. It is often very difficult to comprehend the society of an authoritarian regime like China through its history, its ideology, and the Communist Party’s behaviour. While almost 20 percent of the world’s total population belongs to that society, the West has in effect a very limited, and often distorted and illusory understanding, of it.Benedict Rogers went to China for the first time when he was a teenager. In The China Nexus, he connects his experience of the past thirty years with political events in China and covers almost all the political topics, ranging from Tibet and Xinjiang to Hong Kong and Taiwan. His concrete, authentic, and reliable narrative provides readers with the precious pos-sibility to understand China. Now that there is open confrontation between China and the West once again, Benedict Rogers’ comprehensive account is an invaluable source of knowledge that helps us understand today’s world in its whole complexity.”
“Benedict Rogers has worked tirelessly and bravely to defend the rights and freedomsof those people in China unable to speak for themselves because of the ChineseCommunist Party’s brutal repression. His book is another act in his brave defence offreedom. It should be read by all those active in government and politics who seekmeek accommodation with this brutal regime in the hope of stronger business ties.Appeasement of such dictatorial regimes didn’t work in the 1930s and doesn’t workwith the CCP now. This book shows us why, from genocide in Xinjiang to forcedlabour in Tibet and from the persecution of Christians to the tyranny in Hong Kong,the brutality grows. How many times must we relearn the lesson that freedom comesat a price? This book shows us what happens when we turn away in the free world.”
“Riveting reading. When the Chinese government decided to extinguish the possibilityof independent thought in Hong Kong, Benedict Rogers was the first foreignerthey targeted. On Beijing’s orders, Rogers was expelled by the Hong Kong policeand, more recently, threatened with arrest for ‘jeopardizing state security.’ Why ishe so feared in China’s halls of power? What makes him particularly dangerous tothe regime? Look no further than this extraordinary book. The China Nexus blendsdeep research, epic sweep, and beautiful writing to give us a harrowing account of theChinese Communist Party’s totalitarian quest to re-engineer human society. Nowmore than ever, we need a book like this to remind us that a war of ideas is underway,and while the stakes are nothing less than the future of the world, a single defenderof freedom can make all the difference.”
“Benedict Rogers’ credentials as a human rights campaigner are impressive. In thisbook, he takes us through the intriguing story of where his commitment comesfrom. At the heart of his campaigning are the spreading tentacles of the ChineseCommunist Party, which he has experienced at first hand. It is this immediate experiencethat gives The China Nexus its humanity and fascinating insights into how thedictatorship operates. Rogers has the kind of curiosity which leads him to run downthe memorable details that bring this story to life. The net result is a compelling bookthat will be of great interest to anyone seriously concerned with the consequences ofthe world’s largest dictatorship.”—stephen vines, author of Defying the Dragon:Hong Kong and the World’s Largest Dictatorship
