Shaughnessy Cohen Prize winner Joanna Chiu on China Unbound

“The rise of China is the geopolitical story of the twentieth-first century, and Joanna Chiu has expertly charted the country’s efforts to extend its power around the globe. From meeting displaced Uyghurs in Istanbul and China-curious entrepreneurs in Sicily, to witnessing street protests in Hong Kong and Xi Jinping’s wooing of Vladimir Putin in Beijing, Chiu does on-the-ground reporting and adds brisk, smart analysis of China’s creeping influence in Canada and around the world. The result: China Unbound is a sweeping portrait of a rising superpower that is essential reading for any follower of Canadian politics.” — 2022 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing Jury (Charelle Evelyn, Jacques Poitras, and Lisa Raitt) About the Book China Unbound chronicles the dramatic expansion of China’s influence across the world and why it should be cause for concern. Joanna Chiu shows how Western complicity, fueled by economic self-interest and belief in the myth of Chinese liberalization, is a major contributor to police state surveillance that goes beyond national borders. Chiu offers detailed accounts of Chinese crackdowns on civil society and growing technological prowess, uncovering the challenges that a powerful China poses to global community and security.
