Six renowned specialists paint an uncompromising portrait of today's China.

From violent repression to the kidnapping of political opponents, from the massacre of minorities such as the Uighurs and Tibetans to widespread domestic and international espionage, there is nothing China doesn't dare do. Nor do its ruling powers bother to hide their actions.
To fully understand the threat posed by China today, it is essential to know the country better, to understand its ambitions and excesses as precisely as possible, but also its obvious weaknesses. In this book, six leading specialists who have been studying the country for many years open... the China Files. Whether the topic is large-scale surveillance, control of individuals, the environment, the economy, or even women's rights, our authors offer lucid, precise, and quantified assessments, a far cry from the relativism and idealism so often shown China. An essential, realistic work that puts an end to naive visions and misconceptions.
