Spies and Lies:
How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World
Oct 2022 | 61 min | CSIS
MORE BOOK INFO: Hardy Grant Publishing, on Amazon, Wikipedia Article.
The book examines how China's Ministry of State Security has spent decades shaping foreign attitudes toward China's rise. Their efforts have targeted policymakers, diplomats, retired officials, scholars, media organizations, and religious leaders around the world. This book draws on Australia's experience countering foreign interference to assess why governments failed to recognize the nature of China's rise and its influence operations earlier.

China's 'Influence' Networks Used to Silence Opponents World-Wide
The Chinese Government aggressively seeks out to silence all forms of voices that are critical of or in opposition to them - worldwide. Chinese citizens overseas are especially targeted - BUT China targets opponents anywhere, in any country - not just Chinese citizens. China is known to use gangster or mafia tactics, spy craft, fake news and propaganda, violence, kidnapping, cyber hacks, and pressure legally, economically, and politically.
China maintains a global spy network out of embassies, consulates, cultural outreach programs, overseas police 'service' stations, and within the overseas Chinese community that are known to monitor, track, and conduct operations against opponents to the Chinese Communist Party.

China persecution of Uyghurs - Wikipedia
In China, it is illegal to voice opposition to the Chinese Communist Government. One common practice on overseas Chinese citizens is to use legal and non-legal tactics to get countries to deport them back to China - where they are often imprisoned. China has even been know to abused Interpol Red Notices (like an international arrest warrant) that trigger countries to arrest and forcibly deport dissidents back to China.
China also maintains extradition treaties with over 39 countries - meaning China can technically file criminal charges back in China and even have non-Chinese citizens extradited to China for 'prosecution' and prison. Some China analysts have warned against opponents of China visiting these countries due to this potential threat (reach of China).
