Chinese Spies

From Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping

For sale in CIS only!

Are the Chinese secret services now the most powerful in the world? After a long investigation into Beijing's intelligence services and the backrooms of international politics, journalist Roger Faligot may have found the answer.

An Asia specialist, Faligot has taken his search to China, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia, delving into archives, unearthing previously unseen documents and interviewing a cast of experts – from intelligence officers, politicians and diplomats to defence analysts, defectors and dissidents. This revealing book exposes China's aspirations as a superpower, with secret services active in every field and across the Western world, from state security operations and political espionage inside European embassies to information wars, economic intelligence and cyber warfare.

"Chinese Spies" is the first book to take us right through recent events, from the early Republicto the Beijing Olympics and into Xi Jinping's absolute rule.
