Summary:
For decades China’s ascendancy has been supported by an astonishingly broad and deep portfolio of quiet coercion. Beijing Rules expose the armoury of strategies with which China has exploited Western weakness to position itself as leader in the game of nations: tying market access to political acquiescence; punitive tariff ; online disinformation operations; use of private companies to spy on global users; leveraging vaccines for geopolitical gain; and the crushing of democracy in Hong Kong. With these dexterous manoeuvrings, China positioned itself to take its place at the apex of world powers.
