The China Nexus

More about the book

Benedict Rogers, originally from London, began his journey with China at eighteen, teaching English in Qingdao shortly after the Tiananmen Square massacre. This experience led to a thirty-year commitment to advocating for human rights in China and neighboring countries. His work spans teaching, journalism in Hong Kong post-handover, and documenting the struggles of refugees fleeing oppressive regimes. He focuses on the plight of Uyghurs, Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and other dissidents. The narrative details his advocacy efforts, including international inquiries into forced organ harvesting and the genocide of the Uyghurs, while also addressing the silence of the Vatican on these issues. In 2017, Rogers was barred from entering Hong Kong, marking a significant moment in his activism. He co-founded Hong Kong Watch and collaborated with various organizations like the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance for China and the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign. The book critiques the Chinese Communist Party's human rights violations, including genocide and organ harvesting, and challenges the regime's claims of equality and rights for all citizens. It also confronts the denial of these atrocities by Chinese officials, particularly regarding the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, which international bodies have deemed credible. The author aims to dispel these false narratives.
