The Empire of Lies: The Truth about China in the Twenty-First Century

More about the book

Intense surveillance and enforced conformity define life in China under the totalitarian regime, as captured by Guy Sorman's firsthand experiences from 1967 to 2006. He reveals the Party's focus on maintaining power rather than improving citizens' lives, highlighting the suppression of freedoms through media censorship and harsh penalties for dissent. Sorman also critiques the West's unwitting support, which grants the regime legitimacy that is not echoed by its own people. This book uncovers the stark realities of contemporary China and the Party's true priorities.
